Electrocoatingis an immersion painting process in which charged paint
particles are attracted to an oppositely charged metallic surface.
As the paint is deposited, it forms a finish which begins to
insulate the metal from the surrounding charged solution. Deposition
continues until the coating thickness becomes sufficient to
form a barrier against further paint attraction.

The
E-Coat Advantage
Electrocoating offers several advantages in the finishing
of metal products. Corrosion resistance is superior to other
paint application methods because immersion E-Coat provides
a complete, uniform coating - even in corners, on edges, and
in hard to reach, partially enclosed spaces. Because the applied
coating is uniformly bonded to the part, there are no runs or
sags, and parts can be handled almost immediately. Consistent,
controlled application without spray gun error nearly eliminates
the need for manual touch ups.
E-Coating dramatically cuts material costs because paint waste
is minimal. Virtually all of the coating put in the tank goes
on the product and stays on the product. In addition, low solvent,
waterborne formulations make electrocoating an environmentally
friendly process.
