  • the plastics used were mainly polyvinyl chloride, and to a lesser extent polyethylene.
  • the present invention relates to the application to a metal substrate of one or more layers of plastics, the outer layer always being polyamide.
  • the object of the present invention is on the one hand to provide a more economical method than the known methods which start from films produced beforehand, and on the other hand, to provide a method applicable to polyamides.
  • polyamides are indeed particularly advantageous by their resistance to temperature, to abrasion, to chemical agents which are better than those of plastics used until now, such as PVC and provide total protection against corrosion to the metallic substrate of based.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for coating a metal substrate by applying a primary layer and at least one layer of plastic material, characterized in that the primary layer comprises a resin chosen from epoxy resins - phenolics, mixtures of epoxy resins and phenolic resins and combinations of said resins and mixtures of resins, in that the last layer of plastic material is a layer of polyamide applied in the form of a suspension, in an organic liquid phase, polyamide powder, the particle size of which is less than 40 ⁇ m and in that the assembly is heated until the outer polyamide layer melts and a continuous coating is obtained.

  • the invention involves the application to the substrate of an organic bonding primer, susceptible to a structural modification by heat.
  • the substrate me-. metal intended to be covered with polyamide suspension is previously coated with a primer, because, among other functions, this ensures the bond between the metal and the polyamide coating, due to the very good adhesiveness which it has both towards metals and polyamides.
  • the primer strengthens the metal protection provided by the polyamide coating firstly by preventing the path between metal and polyamide of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and then, by superimposing its own protective action to that of polyamide.
  • the presence of the primer is even more essential when the sheet to be coated has not undergone a preparation treatment.
  • the primer contains an epoxy resin in an amount between 1 and 20% of the total weight of the primer, associated with a phenolic resin in an amount between 1 and 20% of the total weight of the primer, or an epoxy resin -phenolic in an amount between 1% and 20% of the total weight of the primer or a mixture of the above resins in the same weight proportions relative to the primer. as those mentioned above.
  • the anti-corrosion action provided by the primer can be reinforced by adding to the primer corrosion-inhibiting chemical compounds such as zinc phosphate, tetrahydro zinc xychromate, strontium chromate, these salts can be used alone or as a mixture.
  • the primer corrosion-inhibiting chemical compounds such as zinc phosphate, tetrahydro zinc xychromate, strontium chromate, these salts can be used alone or as a mixture.
  • the second step of the coating process consists in coating the primer with a suspension of a fine polyamide-based thermoplastic powder, presented in a solvent or mixture of organic solvents.
  • the final step of heating the entire coating can allow proper attachment of the primer on the substrate.
  • the final heating step causes the polyamide particles to melt and forms a continuous and smooth layer on the substrate. In the polyamide layer, this is a purely physical transformation carried out under the effect of the rise in temperature, for example in a heat treatment oven. This characteristic is advantageous and constitutes an important difference with the processes of the prior art in which the heat treatment was intended to effect a chemical transformation comparable to a crosslinking in the plastic layer. final.
  • the final layer or finishing layer is obtained by evaporation of the liquid phase in which the polyamide particles are suspended and by fusion of said particles to form the final layer.
  • the grain size of the polyamide powder corresponds to a specific particle size, being in a range of less than 40 ⁇ m and preferably between 10 and 40 ⁇ m, particularly between 10 and 30
  • the powders suspended are powders of polyamides, that is to say resins of high molecular weight obtained from lactams or amino acids whose hydrocarbon chain has a number of carbon atoms between 4 and 20 such as, for example, caprolactam, oenantholactam, dodecalactam, undecanolactam, dodecanolactam, 11 amino-undecanoic acid, 12 amino-dodecanoic acid.
  • the polyamide can also be a condensation product of a dicarboxylic acid with a diamine such as, for example, the polyamides 6.6, 6.9, 6.10, 6.12, 9.6, condensation products of hexamethylene diamine with adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, 1.12 dodecane-dioic acid and nonamethylene diamine with adipic acid.
  • the powders can consist of copolyamides resulting from the polymerization of the various monomers mentioned above.
  • copolyamides result from the polycondensation of ⁇ -caprolactam, amino-undecanoic acid and / or lauryl lactam.
  • their melting viscosity is all the higher, which harms their spreading on the substrate during melting; according to the present invention, the suspension may contain adjuvants promoting the spreading of: polyamide melt despite a viscosity of high fusion.
  • the lower the molecular weight the more the coating will be fluid in the molten state to the detriment of its mechanical properties, its aging and its resistance to weathering.
  • the inherent viscosity (measured at 20 ° C. for a solution of 0.5 g in 100 ml of metacresol) of the polyamide powders, reflecting their molecular mass, is between the values 0.75 and 1.40; the nature of the polyamide and the final application of the coated substrate are the determining factors for choosing the most favorable value.
  • the polyamide powders used according to the invention can be obtained by all kinds of techniques known to a person skilled in the art, for example by grinding polyamide granules previously cooled with liquid nitrogen, or dissolving these granules in solvents hot and precipitation by cooling, among others.
