Possible Failures and Troubleshooting in the Electrophoretic Coating Process: Uneven drying after electrodeposition

April 1, 2025

Uneven drying after electrodeposition
Deposited paint drying up before rinsing results in an uneven finish.


Q:
Paint on the substrate has dried up before rinsing.


A:

 

  • Install a mist sprayer between the bath exit and rinsing process.
  • If a mist sprayer is already in place, check whether the mist is sprayed evenly all over the substrate.
  • If, before rinsing, the line stops because of some problem, rinse the workpiece by pouring pure water with a hose.
  • This defect is likely to occur in dry seasons (particularly in winter).

If the defect occurs persistently, it is necessary to install a sprayer designed to prevent uneven drying or to take other measures.
