The Basics of a Successful Electrocoating Operation
Electrocoat is the process of using an electrical field to migrate charged colloidal particles onto an oppositely charged conductive electrode. It is highly efficient and has the ability to give uniform film thickness and to coat complex objects. This session will review the two types of electrocoating processes, anodic and cathodic, as well as both epoxy and acrylic based paints and their usage along with the equipment used for an electrocoating operation.
