1.4.jpg 

 Electrophoresis, as an important surface treatment technique, is based on the migration behavior of charged particles in an electric field. When a charged particle is in an electric field, the electric force moves in the electric field, a phenomenon called electrophoresis. During electrophoresis, the charged particles migrate under the action of an electric field and eventually form a coating on the electrode.

Electrophoretic coating is a common electrophoretic application, which uses the principle of electrophoretic coating to coat the coating on the surface of the workpiece. Because of the advantages of high deposition rate, high adhesion, and low energy consumption, it has been widely used in automobiles, home appliances, building materials, and other fields. For example, body painting in the automotive industry uses symphony coating technology on the car body, to improve the anti-corrosion performance and appearance quality of the body.

 The advantages of electrophoretic coating are its high deposition rate and high adhesion. In the automotive industry, the deposition rate of electrophoretic coating can reach 1-3mg / in2, which is much higher than the traditional manual spraying method. In addition, because the electrophoretic coating is formed under the action of the electric field, the adhesion between the coating and the substrate is very strong, which is not easy to fall off. This provides more reliable anti-corrosion protection for the automotive industry.

 In addition to the automotive industry, electrophoretic coating is also widely used in other fields. For example, in the home appliance industry, electrophoretic coating can be used to coat metal shells to improve the appearance quality and corrosion resistance of products. In the building materials industry, electrophoretic coating can be used to coat metal doors and Windows, railings, etc., to improve the anti-corrosion and decorative performance of products.

In short, electrophoresis, as a surface treatment technology, has the advantages of high deposition rate and high adhesion and has been widely used in automobiles, home appliances, building materials, and other fields. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of the application field, the elechoresis technology will continue to play an important role.
