What is Electrocoating?
Electrocoating is an immersion painting process that uses an electrical current
to deposit paint. In cathodic e-coating the product receives a negative charge,
which attracts the positively charged paint. As the paint is deposited, it
forms an even film over the entire surface until it reaches the desired thickness. When the
desired thickness is attained, the part is insulated and the attraction stops.
The amount of coating applied to the part is determined by increasing the
applied voltage or lowering the film resistance, it is a matter of dialing in
the desired coating thickness. |

Advantages of Electrocoat
E-Coating offers many advantages in the finishing of metal products. One of
the advantages is the complete paint coverage that is gives. The sharpest
corners, edges and partially closed spaces are covered by the paint, which would
be hard to reach with spray painting. Since the coating contains very little
water, there are no runs and no touch ups are required. After painting, the
parts can be handle almost immediately. Ecoating costs are minimal because
there is virtually no paint waste. Electrocoat painting provides a durable
coating and can be used as a primer or top coat. Electrocoating is not limited
to the automotive industry, it is also widely used in agriculture and
construction. |
