🌐 Electrophoretic Coating (E-Coating): Uniform Protection with Style

🧩 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.

🔁 Process Workflow

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