Definitions

  • This invention relates to method and means for coating surfaces by electro-deposition with coating materials such as paint, paint pigments, ink, lacquer, wax resins, emulsions of various types, oils, dyes, gums, solutions and the like.
  • coating materials such as paint, paint pigments, ink, lacquer, wax resins, emulsions of various types, oils, dyes, gums, solutions and the like.
  • Such surfaces to be coated may be those associated with objects of regular or irregular shape, and may be of conducting or non-conducting or semi-com ducting material and may be of sheet form or plate form such as paper sheets or fabric sheets or plastic sheets or film.
  • Previously surfaces have been coated by means which include the application of paint and the like by means of brushes, knife coating devices, spray guns, air brushes, electrostatically-assisted spray guns, and by the assisted deposition of liquid paint from the air by electrostatic means.
  • spray guns and the like many difficulties arise in that the air operated gun is limited to a comparatively small volume of dispersion, and also causes the coating material to be dispersed in non-uniform sized particles, and in varying patterns and amounts in difierent areas.
  • the difiiculties encountered in this regard have given rise to an adaptation in which an electrostatic field is used to assist in distributing the particles more evenly. Further, in another adaptation an electrostatic field is used to drive liquid paint from an edge through the air on to an "object to be coated.
  • the object of the present invention is to coat surfaces with greater uniformity than heretofore possible, and to coat with a greater variety of materials and to arrange treatment so that eftective control can be exerted during treatment over the thickness and uniformity of deposition by control of the time and rate of deposition.
  • the invention consists in placing the material to be coated in a bath between electrodes which serve to deposit the coating material from the insulating bath on to the surface, with or without relative movement between the material and electrodes.
  • This invention will therefore be seen to relate to coating by electro-deposition effected in a bath of electrically insulating liquid having a dispersion of particles, colloids, emulsions, solutions, large molecules, emulsoids or gas, as opposed to the plating of articles by the prior methods of depositing through a conductive bath.
  • the principles underlying the invention are that when a bath of non-conducting liquid contains in it another dispersed substance Which is to form the coating material, the dispersed coating substance will be moved in such a bath when there is a field through the bath.
  • the actual apparatus for carrying out the invention can of course be very widely varied but may comprise a bath in which one electrode is a fixture and the other is the object or surface to be coated, or it may comprise a bath having electrodes which serve to deposit the coating material from the insulating bath on to the surface as the material moves or is disposed between the electrodes.
  • a roller may form one of the electrodes, and the materials to be treated may pass through this bath around the roller and be coated in so doing.
  • a belt or webbing can move in contact with such a roller and it can be of an insulating material or of a material which will enable it to act as an electrode, or in some cases where the coating material is to be applied to a material which can itself form an electrode, such material can simply be guided through the bath in proximity to the other electrode to effect the required coating.
  • the deposition depends in the first instance on the interesting phase boundary phenomena that occur when one of the phases in contact is an electrical insulator and the other consists of solid particles, colloids, liquid particles or globules, that is emulsions or emulsoids, gas pockets and the like held in suspension.
  • the solid or liquid particles suspended in an insulating liquid when an electrical field is applied.
  • the particles migrate either to the positive or negative electrode depending on the inherent charge of the particle.
  • the polarity of the charges on the particles will govern the direction in which they will move, that is, to which electrode they will move when a direct current electrical field is applied.
  • the chief action of the electrical field is in ensuring movement of the particles towards the electrode, and in producing a force which presses the particles together on the surface of the electrode.
  • the materials used for carrying out the invention can of course be very widely varied and that the coating materials used for coating can include all particles, resins, oils, waxes, dyes, gums, pigments and the like which can be dispersed in a liquid of suitably high volume resistivity.
  • the pigments and resins and the like can be mixed in such a way as to form a paint or paste of creamy or stiff consistency, unpolymerised or partly or nearly fully polymerised and ready for dispersal in the dispersing liquid.
  • the dispersal into the liquid for the bath may be carried out by any of the common mixing methods such as ball milling, cone milling, mechanical agitation and the like. It is also convenient in some cases merely to stir the powders or pigments directly into the carrier liquid.
  • Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 show static forms of apparatus used in the process
  • Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10 show the process applied in apparatus suitable in continuous operation, that is with moving elements.
  • Fig. 1 shOWS the simplest method of practising the invention.
  • the particles 1, comprising solids, emulsions, emulsoids, colloids, or large molecules are suspended, dispersed or dissolved in the liquid 2 by conventional means such as is used in paint or ink manufacture, for example milling or grinding.
  • the liquid 2 is a liquid, or mixture of liquids, of relatively high volume resistivity, and is held in an insulating vessel 3.
  • the electrodes 4 and are immersed in the dispersion liquid 2 at an appropriate distance from each other depending on the voltage which is subsequently applied between them, but greater than that at which arcing will occur.
  • Such a voltage might normally be from 500 to 100,000 volts, and for 15,000 volts where the liquid is carbon tetrachloride for rapid deposition the distance would be about one inch.
  • the particles or droplets or molecules 1 are caused to be rejected by the electrode 4 to travel across the cell through the liquid 2 and deposit or adhere to the electrode 5 and retained on the electrode. With the above conditions a substantial coating is achieved in two seconds. Very thick deposits may be built up on the electrode 5 and retained if the field is maintained while the electrode 5 is removed from the vessel 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of the invention in which a third member or electrode 6 is interposed between two fixed electrodes 4 and 5, the electrode 6 being earthed through a high or low resistance.
  • the removable member or electrode 6, which may be a relative insulator such as a fiat paper, or a conductive metal sheet, is caused to receive the coating or deposit from the bath when the electrical field is set up between the electrodes 4 and 5.
  • the electrode or member 6 may also be caused to retain a thick deposit if removed whilst the field is maintained.
  • Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the vessel 3 is identical with the electrode 4, in this case for purposes of illustration a flat metal dish, but may be of other shape.
  • the object to be coated is identical with the electrode 5, being a flat object for the purpose of illustration. Deposition occurs primarily on the underside of the fiat electrode 5, and if the coating is itself an insulator deposition may subsequently also occur on the top of fiat electrode 5.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the object to be coated is one of irregular shape which it is desired to coat in its entirety.
  • the object 5 is first maintained at negative polarity for a selected period and deposition occurs predominantly on those areas 7 facing the positive electrode 4 and is hindered to a certain extend in re-entrant positions and at sharp edges the deposition is greater.
  • deposition occurs predominantly on those areas 8 opposite to the negative electrode 4.
  • the object is coated uniformly over the entire surface. It should be noted that the process is not designed for alternating currents of the order of fifty or more cycles per second as stringing of the particles tends to occur and deposition stops. Slow alternations of direct current of the order of one cycle per second or less than one per second are necessary, for about two to ten cycles, the uniform coating then being the result of relative potentials on varying parts of the object.
  • Another object identical or similar in shape to the object 5 can be substituted for the electrode 4 or be identical with the electrode 4, enabling two objects to be coated at once.
  • Fig. 5 shows an embodiment of the invention in which it is desired to coat a large object of irregular shape by immersion in a vessel.
  • the object 5, identical with the electrode 5, is immersed in the liquid 2 contained in the vessel 3, which is identical with the electrode 4.
  • To ensure uniformity of coating it may be necessary to include 4 removable additional electrodes 4a.
  • the liquid is drained away through outlet 9 whilst the field is maintained, or alternatively the electrodes 4a are lifted away and the object removed whilst the field is maintained or if the concentration of solids and the like in the suspen sion is selected suitably, the field need not be maintained.
  • Fig. 6 shows another method for practising the invention where it is desired to coat the inside of a hollow object.
  • the object 3 is the container for the liquid 2 and the particles 1 and is the one electrode.
  • the electrode 4, which may be shaped to conform with the inside of the object 3, is immersed in the liquid 2 and held in a fixed position to prevent it moving under the influence of the electrical field which is subsequently applied between 4 and 3. Deposition of the material occurs on the inside of the object 3 and added uniformity may be secured by cycling the polarity as in the manner of Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 7 shows an electrode 4 carrying the object 10 which is to be coated, and the coating substance 1 and carrier liquid 2 are carried by an absorbent roller 11 forming the other electrode 5. This roller 11 is moved across the surface of the object 10 to be coated and discharges coating material uniformly because of the electrostatic field.
  • Fig. 8 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the object 10 to be coated is continuously coated whilst the object is moving.
  • the object 10 which may be a web of paper or a metal foil or other flexible material, is arranged to pass through the liquid 2 and between the electrodes 4 and 5, preferably in contact with the electrode 5 as shown, and as it passes the coating 7 is caused to be deposited on it by the applied electrical field beween the two electrodes 4 and 5.
  • the vessel 3 may be made of an insulating material, or lined with an insulating material, but is shown identical with the electrode 4.
  • the voltage applied between the electrodes governs the distance between the electrodes, but is commonly set at 15,000 volts and one and a quarter inches respectively.

  • a roller 11 which is identical with the electrode 5 and similarly placed but arranged to rotate or be driven at a uniform speed. Deposition occurs in a similar way to Fig. 8 except that the electrical field is less concentrated at the base of the electrode as will be apparent from the drawing.

  • (:1) Tape for tape recorders The invention has application to the coating of such substances or backings as the tape used in magnetic recording machines where it is necessary to coat one side of a tape with a thin film of iron oxide or the like, the advantages of this invention in effecting such a coating being that there is a selective effect which ensures that only the particles in the bath which have the correct characteristic for deposition will be deposited, and as there is a uniform distribution of the suspended particles in the bath, there is likewise a uniform distribution on the tape, it having been shown that impurities and pan ticles of other characteristics can be deposited on the other electrode.

  • the cutting action of the abrasive material can be made more uniform than has been possible heretofore because of the inherent selective effect of the invention as regards type of material deposited and also its selective effect with respect to size of particle deposited.
  • Coating leather and the like It is clear that the invention can be used also for the application of coloured or decorative or protective coatings to leather and other natural sheet material as well as to fibrous materials of artificial origin such as fabrics made from wool or cotton or silk or plastic fibres or plastic sheeting.
  • the web as coated may itself be conductive or insulating and in the latter case it may be necessary in some instances to render the back of the material conductive or partially conductive by the application of gelatine, or silver chloride or the like prior to coating, if the electric field strength is not sufficiently high.
