Pen-type hazardous material applicators are provided useful in applying metal pretreatment material to intricate geometries, such as blind holes, through holes, rivets, crevices, chamfers, counterbores, countersinks and other difficult to access surfaces are provided.

Applicator for hazardous materials

This invention relates to an autodeposition bath composition comprising a nitrogen containing compound, said bath being suitable for generating a uniform autodeposition coating on two or more of ferrous, aluminum, magnesium and zinciferous multi-metal substrate surfaces, treated either sequentially or simultaneously. The invention also provides autodeposition concentrate compositions for use in the bath, methods of making and using the concentrate and bath, as well as metal articles comprising an autodeposition coating according to the invention.

Single bath autodeposition coating for combination metal substrates and methods therefor

A coated article comprising a metal surface, a first layer of an uncured autodeposition coating and a second uncured paint layer deposited sequentially on the surface without intermediate curing of the autodeposition coating, a process of co-curing said autodeposition coating and paint layer or layers, and a cured coated article having chemical bonds between the cured autodeposition coating layer and at least the cured paint layer immediately adjacent to the cured autodeposition coating layer.

Co-cure process for autodeposition coating

A method for coating a metal substrate with a white, off-white or gray colored autodeposited coating comprising water, polymeric resin, HF and pigment particles comprising a core of titanium dioxide, an intermediate zirconia and/or alumina layer, and an outer organic layer, optionally the particles are treated with an anionic surfactant.

Off-white and gray autodeposition coatings

The invention provides an improved appearance, glossy, autodepositing coating composition that maintains its desirable properties such as moisture barrier properties, although it is still able to deliver a glossy finish. No additional coatings are necessary over the instant coating to achieve a gloss. The glossy composition is accomplished by narrowing the molecular weight distribution and the molecular weight of an autodepositing epoxy dispersion coating by adding a chain transfer agent. The chain transfer agent is a thiol-containing compound made from an epoxy resin mixed with at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer polymerized through a polymerization process, a curing agent, and a starter composition of peroxide, FeF3, and hydrofluoric acid. By eliminating the starter composition, a bath concentrate suitable for selling is manufactured.

Glossy improved appearance auto-deposition coating, and methods of applying same

Coating bath compositions and processes useful in depositing organic polymeric coatings on metal substrates at low voltages are provided, the baths comprising one or more dispersed organic film forming polymers; and an etchant; wherein the principle film forming polymer is stabilized in the bath by the presence of anionic surfactant, but can be readily anodically deposited under low voltage. The invention also relates to processes of depositing a coating and metal substrates coated using the baths and processes of the invention.

Electrodeposition of an autodepositable polymer

A method for coating a metal substrate with a white to off-white or gray colored autodeposited coating comprising water, polymeric resin, HF and pigment particles comprising a core of titanium dioxide, an intermediate zirconia and/or alumina layer, and an outer organic layer, optionally the particles are treated with an anionic surfactant.

A composition for coating a metal substrate with a white to off-white or gray colored autodeposited coating comprising water, polymeric resin, HF and pigment particles comprising a core of titanium dioxide, an intermediate zirconia and/or alumina layer, and an outer organic layer, optionally the particles are treated with an anionic surfactant.

The current invention relates to a coating composition comprising a polyisocyanate compound, a hydroxyl-functional film-forming polymer, and a non-volatile branched monoalcohol. An aliphatic branched monoalcohol is preferred. More preferred are long chain non-volatile branched monoalcohols. This results in coating compositions that have improved flow behavior and that produce coatings having improved appearance without an adverse effect on other properties. The invention also relates to a multi-component coating composition. Preferably, the multi-component coating composition is a two-component coating composition comprising a polyisocyanate component and a hydroxyl-functional component, wherein the hydroxyl-functional component, in addition to the hydroxyl-functional film forming polymer also comprises the non-volatile branched monoalcohol. The non-volatile branched monoalcohol can be mixed with the hydroxyl-functional film forming polymer or can be added during the preparation of the hydroxyl functional film forming polymer. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of the coating compositions in the refinish industry, in particular the body shop, to repair automobiles and transportation vehicles and in finishing large transportation vehicles such as trains, trucks, buses, and airplanes, and to a process for the preparation of a multilayer coating comprising the steps of applying a basecoat composition on an optionally coated substrate, optionally curing the basecoat, applying on top of the basecoat a clearcoat composition according to the present invention, and curing the multilayer coating.
