Autodeposition is faster and more environmentally responsible than conventional coating processes; however, a typical seven-stage autodeposition process still requires several cleaning stages. Recent advances are pushing autodeposition technology past this boundary to offer manufacturers and coaters a coating solution that lowers the environmental impact even further, while also reducing the overall manufacturing production footprint and increasing efficiency in the assembly process.
