Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged particles to more efficiently paint a workpiece.
Paint, in the form of either powdered particles or atomized liquid, is initially projected towards a conductive workpiece using normal spraying methods, and is then accelerated toward the work piece by a powerful electrostatic charge.
In the dipping process, air entrapment can occur in blind holes and deep recesses, so the positioning of the part as it enters the paint tank is critical in removing any trapped air that will restrict paint coverage.
The job may be delivered to the coating booth or hangers in any fashion, most commonly using either hands or pliers.
After passing through the booth, or tank, and getting coated, the workpiece then either goes into a baking oven or out into the open air to allow the paint to cure on the part.
