Electrocoating is a painting method which uses an electrical current to deposit paint. E-coat also goes by the terms electropainting, electrophoretic coating, electrodeposition and a few others. The idea is that electricity converts the chemicals in the solution into a corrosion resisting primer right at the surface of the part. Removing e-coating protection may seem counterintuitive, but it’s an essential step in several manufacturing processes. It is often removed before welding to prevent weld contamination, to rework part rejects with irregular coatings, or to clean up equipment (hooks, racks, etc.) used for the coating process. The most common methods for e-coating removal include burn-off ovens, sandblasting, and chemical stripping. E-Coat chemical stripping is a paint remover solution process where entire parts are immersed in a chemical solution kept at a high temperature. Chemical stripping provides high-quality results, is more precise than sandblasting, and is typically faster than burn-off ovens. Find our electrocoating paint strippers for sale below.
