CATHODIC ELECTOR DEPOSITION (CED) paint provides the automobile protection against diverse climatic conditions.
This electrode position system acts as an anti-rust primer, and also works effectively as an anti-corrosion agent.
The metal frame of a car or light truck has an extremely complex shape.
Many areas are hidden from a direct line of sight.
It is virtually impossible to coat such a complex shape with conventional spray-applied paint.
In order to achieve maximum coverage and therefore maximum corrosion resistance,
this first coating layer is applied in a process known as electrode position.
Electro coating Vs Powder Coating and Liquid Sprays
Environmental Advantage
- Eco-friendly Lead & Tin free technology.
- No Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS) and very low levels of organic solvents.
- Being water based coatings; they have very low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
- No fire hazard.
Tenco-Economic Advantage
- Catholic epoxy electro coating is highly corrosion resistant. A 20-micron dry film thickness can withstand as much as 1200 hours salt spray test.
- Uniform Coating: : Electro coating has the ability to give very even coating with variances ranging to only 1-2 microns.
- Higher Transfer Efficiency: The process being a closed loop process allows transfer efficiency of more than 95%, with much reduced waste water streams.
-
As Electro coat films are controlled by voltage adjustments the deposition stops, once the metal is insulated.
No other organic coating system can be controlled with the film uniformity as in Electro coating system.
