Adhesion test results nonchromated primers

Table 31.3 summarizes the adhesion test results of nonchromated primers [Spraylat EWAE118 (D) and Dexter 10-PW-22-2(X)] to plasma coatings deposited without an anode assembly, which were produced in both flow and closed system deposition processes. As noted in Table 31.3, closed system TMS plasma polymers (Tcs) showed superior primer adhesion performance to similar ones obtained from a flow system (Tfs). Similar to chromated primers, summarized in...

In order to produce chromate-free plasma coating systems, the adhesion of closed system TMS coatings to nonchromated primers (Spraylat EWAE118 and Dexter lO-PW-22-2) was also investigated, and the adhesion test results are summarized in Table 32.9. Closed system TMS plasma polymers showed superior primer adhesion performance to those obtained from a flow system. Similar to chromated primers, summarized in Table 32.8, excellent primer adhesion was always achieved with closed system TMS plasma polymers treated with subsequent Ar plasma applications.
