๐ŸŒ Electrophoretic Coating (E-Coating): Uniform Protection with Style

๐Ÿงฉ What Is E-Coating?

Electrophoretic coating, or e-coating, is a surface finishing process that uses electrical current to deposit paint particles onto a conductive substrate. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and a smooth, uniform finish.

๐Ÿ” Process Workflow

  • Pretreatment โ€“ cleaning and degreasing
  • Phosphating โ€“ optional adhesion enhancer
  • E-Coating Bath โ€“ immersion in water-based paint
  • Electrodeposition โ€“ electric charge attracts paint particles
  • Rinsing โ€“ removes excess coating
  • Curing โ€“ baking for durability

๐Ÿงช Types of E-Coating

Type Description Ideal Use
Cathodic Paint deposited at negatively charged part Automotive, industrial components
Anodic Paint deposited at positively charged part Decorative, thin-film applications
