Coatings update: Electroplating

Abstract

Electrocoating, spurred on by the impetus of anti‐pollution as well as by the inherent efficiency and efficacy of the process continues, to grow. There are today approximately 250 electrocoating tanks in operation in the United States which translates to a tank capacity of nearly 2 million gallons. Annual sales of coatings are now at the rate of 600 000 gallons. Forty per cent of this amount is utilised in the automotive industry; another 40% in the appliance industry; and the remaining 20%, in miscellaneous applications.
