Electrocoating is a method of painting which uses electrical current to deposit the paint. The process works on the principal of "Opposites Attract". An e-coat system applies a DC charge to a metal part immersed in a bath of oppositely charged paint particles. The paint particles are drawn to the metal part and paint is deposited on the part, forming an even, continuous film over every surface, in every crevice and corner, until the coating reaches the desired thickness.

The electrocoat process can be divided into four distinct steps:

  1. Pretreatment cleaning and phosphating cycle
     
  2. Electrocoat bath cycle
     
  3. Post rinse cycle
     
  4. Baking and curing cycle

 

 Electrostatic painting, E-coat, Production paint Advantages of E-Coat

Electrocoating offers several advantages in the finishing of metal products:

  • The uniform coating resists corrosion and is superior to other coating applications
     
  • The applied coating contains very little water, thereby eliminating runs or sags and allowing the parts to be handled almost immediately.
     
  • Electrocoating waste is minimal, drastically reducing material costs.
     
  • Low solvents and water-based formulations make electrocoating the perfect finish for an environment-friendy future.
