The procedure

Lack, der dem Bauteil meets.

In cathodic electrocoating, the component is immersed in a bath of water-soluble epoxy resin. By applying a direct voltage, the paint is deposited electrochemically – evenly, precisely and deep into every cavity.

Unlike classic spray methods, the coating is thicker where the paint is thinnest. E-coating is therefore ideal for complex geometries.

After the dip coating bath, the component is baked in a convection oven at 180-200 °C. This cross-links the lacquer into a closed, organically resistant film.

The layer thicknesses range from 12 to 50 µm – depending on the requirements. E-coating is suitable both as a standalone coating and as a primer for subsequent powder coating or wet painting.

Your advantages
