What We Do at DC Coaters

Let us be your E-coat Department!

Why are so many manufacturers choosing to E-coat (Electrocoat) their products?

E-coat is:

Like an organic plating process
Environmentally friendly

An Advanced coating technology that has:

No lead
No chrome
No HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants)
Very low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds or Solvents)
Very consistent with film build which is somewhat controllable
Excellent adhesion
Outstanding corrosion resistance
Very Efficient material utilization
Excellent coverage of complex configurations with recessed areas
An automated process with high production capabilities
Excellent appearance
Excellent priming qualities for top coats
Capability to coat a wide range of conductive surfaces

Process control is the primary key to quality. Lab operators diligently follow the test procedures spelled out in the laboratory manual.

When bar code labels are required, we can print and apply them

The latest technology is used for creating job instructions for each part number and each workstation.
