Frequently asked questions

Why is E-coat masking different from dry coating masking?

Immersion and exposure can change the fit and leakage risk, so the complete process sequence is required for selection.

Should I test parts after the entire E-coat cycle?

Yes. Fit, sealing and removal should be tested under the actual sequence before approving a repeat order.
