Electrophoretic Deposition

What is Electrophoretic Deposition?

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD), is a term for a broad range of industrial processes which includes electrocoating, e-coating, cathodic electrodeposition, anodic electrodeposition, and electrophoretic coating, or electrophoretic painting.

Advantage

Electrophoresis deposition has the advantages of uniform and full, flat and smooth coating and electrophoresis paint film hardness. And the hardness, adherence capability, corrosion-resistance, shock-resistance, penetrating quality are better than other coating technologies.

Nowadays, 92% of automobile production is utilizing electrophoretic deposition, and 90% is utilizing Cathode Electrophoretic Deposition. Take the case of Ford and General Motors, CED has accounted for 99% of cars body coating since they started to utilize it in January, 1977. In auto industry of China, CED has been used in the mid of 1990s. Most of cars bodies are coated with CED. Auto parts, carriages, frames has gottten to utilize CED for a long life. CED is applied not only in auto industry, but also other industries successfully, such as fireproof doors, steel windows, hardwares and tools, lock parts, glasses frames, bicycle parts, stationary, Luggage buckles, lighters and other products, because CED results in excellent corrosion-resistance, permeability, adornment performance.
