Deposition voltage

The deposition voltage in electrocoating is the electrical voltage that is applied to transfer paint particles from a paint emulsion to a conductive surface. During the process, the workpiece is immersed in the paint bath and the applied voltage causes the paint particles to migrate to the surface, where they settle evenly and form a coating.

The level of the deposition voltage influences the thickness and quality of the paint layer as well as the efficiency of the entire process. An optimally adjusted deposition voltage ensures that the paint is evenly distributed without any defects or overcoating. It must be carefully matched to the properties of the paint and the workpiece to be coated in order to ensure a high-quality and consistent coating.
