  • Protective coating process for aluminum and aluminum alloys
    Patent number: 5330635
    Abstract: A protective coating process is described for simultaneously sealing and priming the anodic coating applied to a metal compound without the need for elevated temperatures during a subsequent curing step. The process comprises the steps of anodizing the component to be coated, applying the coating composition at an elevated temperature of about 150 degrees F. to thereby simultaneously seal and prime the component and curing the sealed and primed component at ambient temperatures. If cross-linking agents are employed then elevated cure temperatures are utilized.
