Surface finishes created with cathodic dip coating processes are eco-friendly, because the used solvent is based on water and the coatings are free from lead and zinc.

Coatings created with the E-Coating process can be used as top coats on galvanized sheet metal or individually galvanized components (where it is used for coloring or for increasing the components' resistance to corrosion).

Coatings created with CDC (E-Coating) can be perfectly used underneath powder coatings. This layer structure (cathodic dip coating + powder) results in increased corrosion protection and visual improvement. This layer combination is often used in the automotive, commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery industries.

During the electrocoating process, the coating is applied by immersion, a process with virtually no paint loss, which is another advantage from an environmental point of view. This coating process creates thicknesses between 10-60 µm, which allows achieving different corrosion resistance classes.

The process is suitable for complex geometries and hollow parts which are difficult to coat using spraying processes. CDC creates even layers and constitutes a cost-effective solution.

Most of the time, this process is used for engine components whose resistance to corrosion is of the utmost importance. When coating components with CDC, it is possible to achieve excellent resistance to chemicals, which is important, for example, when it comes to radiator hoods or supports in engine compartments.

Cathodic dip coating (CDC) or E-Coating is a process suitable for this purpose. It is regarded as one of the most efficient coating processes for industrial metal surfaces.

E-Coating stands for electrophoretic coating or electrocoating, which refers to the process where positively charged paint particles are deposited onto a negatively charged component to create a coating with a uniform film thickness on the entire workpiece surface.
