Originally developed for the automotive industry, electrodeposition coating, also known as
e-coating, consists of electrically applying black paint coating on electricity-conductive metal parts.
Consider these e-coating advantages!
- Complete and uniform coating on every surface
- Even finish - no dripping or gaps
- May be used as a base or as a single coat
- Unbeatable corrosion resistant treatment for metal parts
- Coverage of deeply recessed areas
With electrocoating, even complex-shaped parts get paint coverage in hard-to-reach areas, such as inside tubing, up to a length equivalent to five times the width of the opening.
Do your parts require protection against corrosion? If so, then e-coating is the solution!
Electrodeposition coating is realized through a 15-tank immersion process, including the very important zinc phosphate pretreatment, which helps guarantee 1500 hours of salt spray testing (according to ASTM B117) on steel. Impressive!
Moreover, the e-coat used by Sixpro is the Powercron 6000 provided by PPG, which is a reference in the coating industry. It is a semi-gloss black epoxy coating, which may be used alone (if parts are not exposed to UV rays) or in combination with the powder coating of your choice (to have even greater protection against corrosion - 2500 hours of salt spray (ASTM B117).
