E-coat is widely recognized as one of the most efficient coating processes. However, in today’s ultra-competitive environment, the quest for improved efficiencies is relentless. Recent increases in energy costs, the desire to process more parts through the same system, and concerns for the environment have led to an interest in electrocoat materials with lower cure temperatures. Fortunately, new developments are meeting the market demand for a lower-temperature cure with a high-performance cathodic epoxy electrocoat finish.
