How E-Coat Works?

E-Coat, also known as electrocoating is a process in which electrically charged paint particles are deposited and attracted to an opposite charged part.  The paint film thickness applied to the part is regulated by the amount of voltage applied. As the coating on the part thickens the voltage is reduced, insulating the part and slowing down the applied coating.
