Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a method of protecting a surface of an e-vaping device portion from corrosion, the method including preparing a coating mixture configured to protect the surface from corrosion, and coating the surface with a protective coating based on the coating mixture, wherein the coating is performed via one of electrodeposition, dipping, spraying, and vapor deposition, and the coating mixture includes at least one of a silane and a resin.
Claims15
A method of protecting an inside surface of an e-vaping device portion from corrosion, the method comprising:
- preparing a coating mixture configured to protect the inside surface from corrosion, the preparing the coating mixture including
- preparing a filler mixture including a first polymer and a filler, the filler mixture having a pH smaller than or equal to 6, wherein the filler includes at least one of TiO2, clay, ZrO2, ZrO2—Y2O3, CeO2, Al2O3, or a combination thereof,
- preparing a silane mixture including silane at about 5% to about 20% and having a pH which stabilizes hydrolyzed silane,
- combining the filler mixture and the silane mixture in a ratio of about 6 to 1;
- and
- coating the inside surface with a permanent protective coating based on the coating mixture;
- the coating being performed via electrodeposition.
