Powder coating over e-coat provides exceptional benefits to your metal products, such as:
Durability:
When you add inner e-coating to your powder-coated products, you’ll ensure they last longer and stand up better to harsh environmental conditions. E-coating is known for its exceptional durability. It resists both outdoor elements and indoor factors like household chemicals. This outstanding performance makes it an increasingly popular choice as an added layer in powder-coated applications.
Coverage
E-coating is the better option of the two for accessing hard-to-reach parts within your metal products. However, you might still want to add the decorative touch of powder coating. For a combination of looks and all-encompassing coverage, you can have your product e-coated, cured and then powder coated for a stylish finish.
Corrosion and UV protection
E-coats are known for their superior corrosion resistance, which is one of the main reasons why so many companies choose the process for industrial applications. However, since most e-coats are not UV stable, they are most often used only as primers or finishes. Pairing your e-coat with a top layer of UV-resistant powder coating ensures both the corrosion protection of e-coats and the UV protection of powder coating.
