Cataphoretic painting
- Modern, progress type
- The product is a cathode
- Epoxid paints – excellent anticorrosive resistance
- Acrylate paints – very good UV resistance
- Patent: 1978 CHRYSLER France Europe
- Electromechanical painting process – paint is applied on the part surface by use of direct current voltage gradient
- Requirements:
- conductive surface of painted product
- the product must be fully soaked in the painting tank = adjusted product
- preliminary treatment
- resistance to burning temperature of 200 °C
Advantages of cataphoresis during the painting process
- High anti-corrosion resistance while tense layer of paint (in case of use of 25 um of paint the resistance of 1000 hours in salted mist confirmed).
- High penetration – sinus protection.
- Ecological and safe production which Futaba pays attention to.
Components of cataphoretic process
Main paint - cathodic epoxid polymer - corrosion resistance (cca 25 um, 1000h salted mist)
Pigment paste - pigment, mineral additives; paint - shade; rim corrosion resistance, flame resistance; mechanical engine protection
Demiwater - peculiar paint solvent
