E-Coat (Electrocoat) Systems
Enhance Productivity with Durusa’s Specialized Electrocoating Technology
Customers have specific goals for their electrocoating system:
- Fast line speed
- A self-limiting system that produces minimum interior film build
- E-coat racking architecture that is both efficient and capable of producing
- deposits on the racks’ interior that are the same as parts close to the anode
- A system that optimizes the advantages of thin-film pretreatments.
Electrocoating is a specialty, and no one has devoted more energy and focus to this important specialty than Durusa. Whether you’re considering a system for low-cure anodic epoxy, cathodic epoxy for maximum corrosion resistance, anodic acrylic, or cathodic acrylic, Durusa can show how smart equipment engineering can optimize the long-term productivity, reliability and value of each of these electrocoating technologies.
Although every electrocoat system has multiple stages, each electrocoating line is distinctive in how it’s built and the way it integrates with the facility environment. So, it helps to work with a company that has designed, fabricated, installed and serviced electrocoat systems for North Americas most prominent OEMs, Tier 1s, and contract e-coaters.
What is E-Coat?
Electrocoating (e-coating) uses electrical current to bond organic paint to metal
It has a high transfer efficiency, distributes uniformly, and provides exceptional corrosion resistance.
Products that are electrocoated pass through multiple stages, including pretreatment, activation, phosphate conversion coating and sealer. After this, paint and oven cure will be performed.
Anodic
- Negatively charged paint adheres to positively charged substrate
- Quality corrosion resistance
- Lower curing temperatures
- Higher cost-efficiency
Cathodic
- Positively charged paint adheres to negatively charged material
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Superior paint bonding
- Cost-efficient
Durusa’s Versatile E-Coating Solutions: Anodic and Cathodic Excellence
E-coating is achieved anodically or cathodically, depending on the product to be coated, the direction of the current applying the coating, and the cure temperature.
Durusa designs finishing systems using both of these methods. Our cathodic epoxy systems use a unique, proprietary configuration of tubular anodes, which deliver optimal throwing power for recessed areas; our single-coat anodic acrylic systems offer the benefit of maximum cost-efficiency.
