• Decorative + Functional Coating Systems
  Evolution toward visually appealing finishes that also deliver EMI shielding or heat resistance.

• Customization by Laser Etching on ED Surfaces
  Branding and serial marking directly on coated surfaces without compromising corrosion protection.

• Automation in Coating Lines
  Fully robotic dip and cure systems for consistent finish quality and repeatability across complex geometries.

4. Application Scenarios

1. Automotive Exterior Trim
   Enclosures for side mirrors, door handles, roof rail supports, and grilles requiring durable, uniform finishes.

2. Interior Components
   Structural support parts, display housings, or control bezels in passenger compartments needing OEM color matching.

3. Under-Hood Enclosures
   Die cast electronics enclosures that require both thermal performance and resistance to fluid splashes and heat.

4. EV and Battery System Frames
   Structural frames or covers for battery management and EV power electronics where weight and corrosion are key.

5. Lightweight Consumer or Industrial Housings

5. FAQ

Q1: What is ED coating and how is it applied?
A1: Electrophoretic deposition (ED or e-coating) is a dipping process where a uniform film forms on electrically conductive parts. It offers excellent coverage—even in cavities—and superior adhesion.

Q2: How does ED coating compare to powder coating?
A2: ED coating is thinner and better for tight-tolerance applications. It provides a highly uniform base and excellent corrosion resistance but less UV resistance compared to top-coated powder systems.

Q3: Can the ED coating color be customized?
A3: Yes, we can customize shades (typically in black, gray, or silver ranges) to match OEM standards or Pantone references.

Q4: Are the coated enclosures paintable or laser-markable?
A4: Absolutely. ED-coated surfaces can be painted over, printed on, or laser marked for branding or part tracking.

Q5: What standards do the coatings meet?
A5: Our ED coatings meet IATF 16949, RoHS, and ISO corrosion test standards including salt spray, thermal cycling, and adhesion.

Q6: Can this coating be used in marine or chemical environments?
A6: Yes. ED coatings offer excellent base corrosion protection. For marine or highly acidic environments, we recommend duplex coatings with powder or topcoat layers.
