A reflective article includes a transparent substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface. A base coat is formed over at least a portion of the second major surface. A primary reflective coating having at least one metallic layer is formed over at least a portion of the base coat. A protective coating is formed over at least a portion of the primary reflective coating. The article further includes a solar cell and an anode, with the solar cell connected to the metallic layer and the anode.

Corrosion resistant solar mirror

Disclosed herein are electrodepositable coating compositions comprising a film forming resin and a textured additive, wherein the textured additive has a density (specific gravity) of no more than 4.5 g/cc and a melting point greater than the curing temperature of the electrodepositable coating composition. Also described are coated substrates having a cured coating layer comprising the electrodepositable coating composition, wherein the cured film layer has a texture of at least 250&#x3bc;-in as measured by a profilometer at conventional cured film thicknesses.

Near neutral buoyancy texture additive for electrodepositable coating compositions and associated methods for forming textured coated substrates

An electrode assembly for use in electrophoretically depositing an electrodepositable coating composition onto a conductive substrate having a hollowed interior region therewithin includes a first counter electrode and an electrode assembly comprising a second counter electrode and a deployable primary electrode which are introduced within the hollowed out interior region during the electrodeposition process to provide a deposited electrodeposition coating on inner and outer surfaces.
