Abstract
A method for electrodeposition of an adherent, water-resistant, cross-linked, organic coating on an electroconductive surface comprising (a) placing the elecroconductive surface to be coated in contact with an aqueous dispersion containing a water-insoluble, essentially electrically non-conductive, film-forming, organic polymer as cation-active, structured particles wherein a substantial portion of the cation-activity is provided by pH independent cationic groups which are chemically bound to the polymer at or near the particle surface and (b) passing an electric current from an electrode through the latex to the electroconductive surface in such a direction that the electroconductive surface is negatively charged, i.e., becomes a cathode in an electrophoretic cell. By use of alternating current both electrodes become coated with an adherent coating of polymer.
