Study Predicts E-Coat Market to Reach $3.69 Billion by 2020
PUNE, India - A new report available from research firm MarketsandMarkets analyzes the global e-coat market, including market drivers, restraints, opportunities and challenges in different regions.
E-coat is a unique immersion coating process in which electrically charged particles are deposited out of a water suspension to coat a conductive part. In this process, a positive charge is applied to the paint bath, and a negative charge is applied to the parts to be coated. The paint particles are suspended in water. The paint allows an electric current to travel from one paint particle to another till it reaches the part, where the paint particles electrically attach themselves to the surface. The parts are then processed through a bake oven where the paint is melted onto the surface for fusion bonding and then heat cured to form a hard and durable film.
