Electro-Coat Technology
Electro-coat Technology provides e-coat solutions for enhanced corrosion protection required in the appliance, automotive, electrical fastener, HVAC, and other industries.

Electro-coating or e-coat is a method of organic finishing which uses electical current to deposit paint. The process works on the principle of "opposites attract" and is an economical alternative to standard coating systems. It provides an even coating on complex surfaces and eliminates runs, drips, and sags.

The entire process incorporates a set of environmentally responsible parameters which are lead/HAPS free and have very low VOC's (Volitile Organic Compounds).
