Welcome to our blog

Welcome to our blog. On the following pages you’ll learn more about us and about our electroplating services including GOLD PLATING, SILVER PLATING, RHODIUM PLATING, PALLADIUM PLATING, NICKEL PLATING, COPPER PLATING, LACQUER COATING . Our web site includes sections on the metals we electroplate, a photo tour of our facility, and a technical library where you’ll find a growing range of topics related to electroplating. If you do not find exactly what you are looking for on our web site, we urge you to contact anyway. Perhaps we can direct you to another source. We have a lot of knowledge about our industry and many mutually beneficial, reciprocal contacts. There are some applications that require the skills of more than one electroplating company to provide the complete solution. We can organize and oversee those relationships on your behalf.

We encourage your questions. Many people are new to the science and practicalities of electroplating. You can use our customer inquiry page to contact us with all of your questions. We’re happy to be of assistance

What is Electrophoresis / E-coating

What is Electrophoresis / E-coating?

what is E-coat?

E-coat is a process that was first pioneered in 1930. Through many years of exploration and industrial use, it has become one of the preferred methods of metal finishing worldwide.

We create a stable E-coat emulsion, containing a mixture of organic resins and DE-ionized water. A DC voltage is then applied through the solution via two electrodes. This causes the electrolysis of water, with oxygen being liberated at the anode (positive electrode), and hydrogen being liberated at the cathode (negative electrode). Through this liberation of gases, the hydrogen ion equilibrium that immediately surrounds the electrodes is disturbed. As a direct result, there is a pH change in the solution causing a DE-stabilization of the paint components which creates a controlled precipitation.

As e-coat specialists, we have direct control over this reaction. Through manipulation of the electropaint chemistry we can change the characteristics of this precipitation or ‘coating’ to create a finish that matches the customer requirement.
