Several Types Of Electrocoating Materials

By Krystal Branch


The technique of creating durable and beautiful coats on metals using electric charged particles is referred to as electrocoating. This method entails the use of different amounts of electrical current to create finishes of various types. The materials used for electro-coating vary from one type to the other depending on their qualities. You would find a variety of coating products you can take advantage of.

Anodic epoxy finishes are among the main finishes available which produce a beautiful and durable coat. Applying anodic epoxy finish needs limited amounts of temperatures as compared to others which make it ideal for very sensitive substrates and materials. These include materials such as castings and engines.

Another essential coating material is the cationic epoxy primer. Cationic epoxy primers are sold in various kinds one of which is the detergent-resistant cationic acrylic finish. The machines used for applying this coating material are usually cheap which ensure the method is as well cheap.

Cathodic epoxy films are as well ideal for finishing metallic materials. The films are sturdy enough to resist the effects of salts and cyclic corrosion. Cathodic epoxy film is however vulnerable to the impacts of ultraviolet sun rays meaning it ought to be covered with other topcoat films to secure it from such impacts.

You can also use the anodic acrylic finish for coating materials. This finish comes with various glosses and colors which ensure the surfaces coated using it are beautiful and durable enough. Anodic acrylic coats are mostly designed to be used for coating the exterior and interior shells of air diffusers, hangers and toolboxes.

Cathodic acrylic paints are designed in a variety of colors and glosses to be used for painting appliances, air conditioning systems, lawn and garden equipment among others. This is because the cathodic acrylic paint provides a durable and corrosion free layer that can as well retain its gloss and beauty for a long period. This coat is also free from ultraviolet degradation which ensures it can be used in products which are exposed to ultraviolet rays for long periods.

There are also numerous types of acrylic-epoxy hybrid finishes. Since they are hybrids of the acrylic and epoxy coats they are stronger and beautiful. They can be also used to coat a variety of materials among them being gold, copper, brass, steel, aluminum and silver. These coats are as well manufactured with various glosses and colors besides varied standards.

Electrocoating benefits both the consumers and the manufacturing industries considering that by producing high quality items, the manufacturers get more customers while by purchasing high quality products, consumers can enjoy the long-term use of such products. This is because the process of coating commercial and household materials improves their durability and beauty. There are various types of electrocoats which vary in quality which means the products produced by different electro-coating materials would vary greatly. Therefore, it is essential to familiarize with the main types of finishes to determine their drawbacks and benefits to ensure you can easily decide on the best one to go with.
