Discover How MAT HD Transforms Brake Shoes

MAT HD, a subsidiary of MAT Holdings Inc., is renowned for its production of commercial vehicle braking products.

One of their specialties is electro-coat painting, a finishing process. Electrocoating, also known as electrodeposition, e-coating, or electrophoretic coating, is a high-tech procedure primarily used to apply an anti-corrosive coating to products.

The e-coating process involves multiple stages of pre-treatment to ensure a clean bare surface followed by immersing the product in a bath filled with a water-based solution, paint, or epoxy. An electric current is then passed through the bath, causing the suspended particles to adhere to the product's surface, creating a smooth, low-profile film across the entire metal surface.

The process continues until the desired film thickness is achieved, which can be controlled by adjusting the immersion time and current. E-coating is particularly beneficial when working with intricate shapes and high-quality parts. Additionally, most e-coat systems are automated, allowing precise control over the amount of paint used, resulting in minimal waste compared to a powder-based system.
