What the coating is intended to provide
Electrophoretic lacquer can create a clear or colored, even film on metal parts. Typical goals include gloss, color stability, scratch resistance and protection of the underlying finish.
Performance depends on the complete process
Surface preparation, the previous metal layer, bath condition, rinsing, film thickness and curing all influence the result. A benefit shown in a product guide should be confirmed on representative samples.
Information needed before selecting a system
Share the base metal, prior plating layers, end use, desired appearance and acceptance tests. This makes it possible to select a suitable lacquer and define a controlled production trial.
Technical note: Operating ranges and additive doses depend on the installed chemistry, equipment and production load. Use the supplier data sheet, bath analysis and approved safety procedures.
