Abstract

Powder coating a substrate with a polyolefin or preferably a polyolefin-polycarbonamide blend before contacting the substrate with a plastic resin creating a plastic-substrate seal, inhibits liquid and vapor transmission through the seal. The application of this invention to battery terminal bushings prevents unsightly corrosion about the battery terminal which is caused by "wicking" of battery acid.
