Zusammenfassung:A method for bonding two substrates that includes applying an autodepositable adhesive to one of the substrates and then bonding the substrates together. This method is especially useful for bonding elastomers to metals. According to a first embodiment, the autodepositable adhesive is a one coat adhesive having a low pH (approximately 1-3) and including (A) a flexibilizer or film-former, (B) optionally, an aqueous dispersion of a phenolic resin that includes water and a reaction product of a phenolic resin precursor, a modifying agent and, optionally, a multi-hydroxy phenolic compound wherein the modifying agent includes at least one functional moiety that enables the modifying agent to react with the phenolic resin precursor and at least one ionic moiety, and (C) an acid. According to a second embodiment, the autodepositable adhesive is a covercoat adhesive that includes a flexibilizer or film-former that is a latex that coagulates when exposed to metallic ions generated from the metallic substrate upon which the covercoat is applied. The covercoat preferably also includes a crosslinker as described above in connection with the one coat embodiment.
