Electropainting or electrocoating
(also known as: electrophoretic painting, E-coating, Elpo, electrodeposition)
The activity is increasingly found alongside surface treatment activities, both for subsequent painting and/or in conjunction with other coatings described here. It is used to apply a protective coating after decorative finishes (for example, applying a lacquer coat to brass plating) and as an alternative or supplement to corrosion-prevention layers, such s replacing hexavalent chromium conversion coatings on its own or used in conjunction with trivalent chromium systems. They may also reduce friction, and enable parts to be evenly or readily distributed without surface damage.
