Electrocoating is a process by which electrically charged particles are deposited out of a water suspension to coat a conductive part.
During the electrocoat process, paint is applied to a part at a certain film thickness, which is regulated by the amount of voltage applied.
The deposition is self-limiting and slows down as the applied coating electrically insulates the part. Electrocoat solids initially deposit in the areas closest to the counter electrode and, as these areas become insulated to current, solids are forced into more recessed bare metal areas to provide complete coverage.
This phenomenon is known as throw power and is a critical aspect of the electrocoat process.
There are numerous benefits to electrocoating, including cost efficiencies, line productivity and environmental advantages.
The cost efficiencies in electrocoat are higher transfer efficiency, precise film-build control, and low manpower requirements.
Increased line productivity in electrocoat is due to faster line speeds, dense racking of parts, non-uniform line loading, and reduced human fatigue or error.
The environmental advantages are no- or low-VOC and HAPs products, heavy metal-free products, reduced exposure of workers to hazardous materials, reduced fire hazards, and minimum waste discharge.
