Corrosion Protection

The e-coat protects the surface, edges and cavities of a car body from corrosion. In combination with the pre-treatment process, it provides an excellent base for applying subsequent paint layers.

The pre-treatment process prior to painting plays an essential role. It includes several steps to clean the car body, promote adhesion and provide a first barrier against corrosion. Afterward, the cathodic electrodeposition coat (e-coat) can be applied successfully. Only the intelligent combination of both – pre-treatment and e-coat – can ensure an excellent metal painted surface quality and optimal corrosion protection.
