Abstract:
1. A system for electrodeposition of paint on a counter-electrode, comprising: an electrodeposition chamber adapted to contain an electroconductive liquid medium including paint; at least one membrane electrode assembly within said electrodeposition chamber and positioned to be in contact with the liquid medium, said membrane electrode assembly including an electrode and an enclosure for separating said electrode from the liquid medium, said enclosure including a frame defining a multiple-sided periphery, the frame including a first downwardly-extending frame portion and a second downwardly-extending frame portion, and a membrane bonded to the frame to provide a seal therebetween, with both the membrane and the electrode bonded along at least the first downwardly-extending frame portion and the second downwardly-extending frame portion with a compression-independent sealing bond; a counter-electrode within said electrodeposition chamber and positioned to be in contact with the liquid medium; and wherein passage of electrical current between said counter-electrode and said electrode through the liquid medium will causes electrodeposition of the paint on said counter-electrode.
