Product Details

Electrophoretic paint (E Coat) is now the finish of choice within the automotive industry where high corrosion resistance is required on sub frame components. This is generally far more durable and offers a low cost alternative to powder coating and is becoming ever more popular is general industrial or retail applications where a high corrosion resistance and aesthetically pleasing finish is required.

E-coat Epoxy Type (electrophoretic painting) offers a high corrosion resistance, normally in excess of 1000 hours salt spray resistance as well as an excellent aesthetic appearance.
When applied to such coatings such as phosphate, zinc or zinc-nickel the corrosion properties can be increased even further. In addition, unlike sprayed or dipped coatings the E-coat finish gives a uniform density of coating over the whole part regardless of the complexity of the product. This surface finish provides a hard surface coupled with good chemical resistance giving excellent wear properties and is an excellent alternative to powder coating on many applications.

E-coating is a method of painting which uses electrical current to deposit the paint. The process works on the principal of "Opposites Attract". This process is also known as electrodeposition or KTL (Kathodische Tauchlackierung)
cathodic dip painting

The e-coat process can be separated into four basic zones:
