Corrosion Resistance Improved by NEW ELECTRIC PAINTING PROCESS Available to Purchase

After a year's joint experimental research by the Pressed Steel Co. Ltd. and I.C.I. Ltd. (Paints Division), details have now been released regarding a new technique developed by these two companies for the automatic application of paint. This is the Electrocoat process, in which the metal to be coated is electrically charged as one of the electrodes in a tank containing water‐borne paint. It is said to possess advantages over conventional methods of paint application to complex shapes such as car bodies, domestic appliances, etc., and to give improved corrosion resistance. It provides the basis of an overall simplification in total painting processes.
