Immersion painting system: cataphoresis Tecnofirma spa
These are dipping painting systems where the transport of the paint particles takes place by an electrical effect.
The piece acts as a cathode and attracts the paint. The system allows penetration and therefore total coverage, including of the recesses, with uniform thicknesses.
The process has the same characteristics as anaphoresis, only the polarities change (in anaphoresis the piece acts as an anode) and so different paints are used.
According to the paint, greater resistance to corrosion can be obtained and today the cataphoresis system is preferred in the car sector as an alternative to anaphoresis.
PROS
- Total penetration and cover
- Excellent resistance to corrosion
- Possibility of high production
- Uniform thicknesses
- Absence of drops
CONS
- High investments
- Impossible to change colour
- Specialized personnel are required to check baths
