Composition for preparation of a photoconductor surface for use in electrophotography

An enamel slip devoid of natural and synthetic resins for use in the preparation of a photoconductive surface wherein the slip is sprayed upon the surface, said enamel slip comprising a mixture of:

• solids comprising a photoconductive powder and a glass powder, both powders having an average particle size below ten microns;
• a carrier vehicle comprising a plurality of organic solvents, at least one of said plurality of organic solvents being selected to enhance atomization of the slip during spraying and at least one of said plurality of organic solvents being selected as a physical suspension element for the solids;
• and
• particulate solid means for suspending the solids in the carrier vehicle by physical dispersion, the particulate solid means for suspending being substantially chemically and electrically nonreactive with the solids.
