e-coat capablities
The electrocoating process offers significant operational, performance and environmental advantages over other finishing technologies. Electrocoating systems apply a DC charge to a metal part immersed in a bath of oppositely-charged paint particles. Because opposites attract, the paint is drawn to the metal part and forms an even, continuous film over the entire surface, until the coating reaches the desired thickness. This process, better known as electrodeposition, allows e-coat users to thoroughly coat complex parts with a uniform film thickness.
