At Great Dane Powder Coating Inc., we are experts in professional electrophoretic coating. E-coating is an affordable, durable, and near-perfect parts coating process.
Unfortunately, “near-perfect” still leaves room for occasional defects, coating flaws that can compromise e-coat’s protective and decorative finish.
That’s why it’s so important to work with experienced professionals whose skills include effectively troubleshooting the electrocoating process.
The wide range of possible defects in electrocoating includes:
When problems arise, understanding what went wrong and how to fix it can sometimes be challenging. At Great Dane Powder Coating Inc., we are proud of our team’s ability to proactively avoid defects and to quickly understand and address e-coating flaws when they do occur.
In order to develop solid solutions to electrocoating problems, using the right troubleshooting process is key.
Five common e-coating troubleshooting steps are:
Knowing how things can go wrong and how to deal with problems is at least as important as knowing what to expect under ideal conditions. The Great Dane team understands troubleshooting should not just be reactionary; but rather a proactive step toward protecting electrocoated parts from defects.
Also known as e-coating or electropainting, electrocoating is a great option for applying a high-quality finish to industrial parts and a wide range of metal components.
While powder coating is a dry process, e-coating is often referred to as a “wet” one, as metal parts are immersed in a bath of paint or epoxy. Electric currents are then applied to attract the particles to the metal.
E-coating allows for application of thinner coats, as they can be precisely controlled by regulating the current. The parts are then cured in an oven to ensure an attractive, uniform finish of the highest quality.
The “wet” dipping process allows the film coating to reach every nook and cranny, no matter how complex the parts are. Great Dane’s electrophoretic coating options can evenly finish the most complex shapes in hard-to-reach areas.
