  • ELECTROSTATIC POWDER COATING ON NON-CONDUCTIVE PLASTICS
    Publication number: 20020160123
    Abstract: A method for electrostatic painting (coating) of a non-conductive polymer surface is disclosed, comprising applying a conductive layer on or adjacent to all or part of a side opposite the non-conductive polymer surface to be painted so as to provide sufficient conductivity to enable electrostatic painting of the non-conductive polymer surface. With the conductive layer in place the article can then be painted electrostatically. After painting, the conductive layer can optionally be removed without affecting the painted surface.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 11, 2000

  • Electrostatic powder coating on non-conductive plastics
    Patent number: 6455110
    Abstract: A method for electrostatic painting (coating) of a non-conductive compatibilized poly(arylene ether)/polyamide polymer surface is disclosed, comprising applying a conductive layer on or adjacent to all or part of a side opposite the non-conductive polymer surface to be painted so as to provide sufficient conductivity to enable electrostatic painting of the non-conductive polymer surface. With the conductive layer in place the article can then be painted electrostatically. After painting, the conductive layer can optionally be removed without affecting the painted surface.
