Using a High-Build E-Coat enables thicker, more protective finishes with fewer dips, and these innovative new systems provide superior corrosion resistance.
Explore e-coating essentials: how it works, its various forms, where it's used, and why it outperforms conventional painting techniques.
In this 2nd part, explore the complexities of corrosion within metal fabrication work, such as elevated material costs, slowed production, maintenance needs, and beyond.
Discover the intricacies of corrosion in metal fabrication projects. Uncover its challenges: material costs, production delays, and repairs.
Discover the intricacies of powder coating: from types and application methods of curing and quality control.
Electrophoretic coating has been around for over 90 years and has found a home in several industries. How much do you really know about e-coating?
E-coating is ideal for parts that require a tough, corrosion-resistant finish. Metal regularly exposed to harsh environments are great candidates for e-coating.
Corrosion isn’t just ugly and expensive; it’s dangerous. It challenges our safety from affected roads, buildings, and bridges. Prevention becomes essential
The price of architectural designs near an ocean is corrosion. Disregarding environmental factors is a costly and perhaps catastrophic mistake.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When powder coating architectural steel, that chain becomes much stronger by preventing oxidation.
When comparing e-coatings to a-coatings, there's very little daylight between the two processes. Turns out, the main difference turns out to be something small.
Powder Coating is one of the most popular methods of protecting metals. It's cheaper, lasts longer, and is environmentally friendly.
The A-Coating process resembles an e-coat. Both are excellent at protecting metals, but the process is the main difference between the two.
Electric current combined with the dissolved metal cations equals Electroplating. This is the third of a series comparing methods of protective metal finishing processes.
What do alchemy, Frankenstein, and a frog have in common? Galvanization!
Anodizing is an excellent solution for protecting metal because of the adhesion offered. It doesn't flake or lose its luster, making it a favorite for many industries.
CARC is the specially developed, durable, non-absorbent, and highly resisting paint with a myriad of benefits commonly applied to military vehicles and equipment.
Rust is an insidious and invisible foe but fought using the right tools, a devastating problem for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
CARC is a paint applied to military vehicles and ensures their metal surfaces remain resistant to oxidation and puncturing by chemical or biological agents.
Using a gravelometer test, under SAE J400 standards, creates a fair comparison between different topcoats supplied by different finishers.
