PPG Publishes New Electrocoat Brochure
6-page booklet has overview of e-coat technology, including the differences between cathodic and anodic e-coat, and the characteristics that make e-coat an efficient, economical and adaptable coating system.
PPG Industries’ industrial coatings business has published a new brochure detailing its electrocoat products, services and training.
The six-page booklet begins with an overview of e-coat technology, including the differences between cathodic and anodic e-coat, and the characteristics that make e-coat an efficient, economical and adaptable coating system. Two illustrations show a typical e-coat bath blend and a sample e-coat production line with a description of the coating process.
Related highlights include:
- A chart devoted to identifying the best e-coat technologies for applications such as auto parts and accessories, heavy-duty equipment, appliances, consumer electronics, fasteners, aerospace and military equipment, and decorative and hardware finishes;
- The “PPG Electrocoat Advantage,” which details PPG’s decades-long history with e-coat and technology-related benefits such as finish quality, product and process efficiencies, speed and productivity, and environmental friendliness;
- A comparison between e-coat and liquid and powder coating technologies; and
- A comprehensive chart-based review of PPG’s leading e-coat lines: the POWERCRON(R), ELECTROCOLOR(R), ELECTROTOUGH(TM), ELECTROPOLYSEAL(R), AEROCRON(TM) and ENVIRO-PRIME(R) brands.
The brochure also covers PPG’s training and support options such as the SECURE LAUNCH EXCELLENCE(TM) program for fast-tracking the development of commercial coatings and the KNOWLEDGE COLLEGE(R) training program, which encompasses customer-focused education seminars held at PPG research and development facilities.
Contact information for PPG’s regional headquarters in North America, South America, Europe and Asia are provided, along with a map showing PPG’s industrial coatings manufacturing facilities and design studios around the world.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 10th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board selected a project addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams. This report covers the 10th quarter of work (April-June 2023). Here, we examine the effect of surface fluorination of Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation performance in terms of energy performance as well as formation of chlorate and perchlorate when chloride is present in the solution. The full paper on this work can be accessed and printed at short.pfonline.com/NASF24Feb2.
