ALMA offers products and technical assistance for the electrocoat process at low voltage.

The cataphoresis e-coat (cathodic electrophoresis) is an electrolytic process that allows to coat with a protective film of organic nature any surface that has an appreciable electrical conductivity. Unlike traditional electrolytic treatments this process can be performed with racks only (not with barrels) since the film deposited, before the curing cycle, it remains soft and therefore deformable to the touch.

The processes proposed by ALMA (BTE series) are based on low viscosity emulsions, which allow to obtain excellent performance of the protective film at medium-high hardness (H – 4H) while maintaining a medium-low thickness (5 -15 microns). Furthermore the chemical nature of the emulsion has been studied to ensure high ease of rinsing and consequently to minimize the usual problems of “drop marks”, typical of the high viscosity emulsions.
