metal finishing maximum protection Through a program of continual improvement and ongoing testing, Maglin has developed a superior metal finishing system. Site furnishings endure continual physical contact and are exposed to a multitude of environmental conditions. In the event of abuse and surface penetration, Maglin protective coating minimizes the potential spread of corrosion, even in the harshest ocean-side environments. electrocoat (e-coat) The twelve stage immersion electrocoat process from Maglin, provides primary corrosion prevention for steel components and superior adhesion of powdercoating to recessed areas and edges. E-coating leverages an electrical charge to apply a uniform protective coating to metal fabricated products. Developed originally for the automotive industry, e-coating provides superior coverage, adhesion and corrosion resistance for metal parts and surfaces. • The principle of e-coat is that materials with opposite electrical charges attract. The e-coat system applies a DC charge to metal parts immersed in a bath consisting of 80-90% deionized water and 10-20% paint solids. • The electric current attracts the solids, coating all surfaces and joints. Once the coating reaches 0.65-0.85 mil film thickness it insulates the components, reducing the coating application until there is a uniform layer of protection. Resin in the paint solids assists adhesion while providing corrosion protection, durability and toughness. As the parts exit the bath, they are rinsed to maintain efficiency and aesthetic design. • The e-coating is baked onto the surface of the steel for fusion bonding followed by heat curing to form a hard, durable film. The bake oven crosslinks and cures paint film to assure maximum performance properties and superior corrosion protection. Maglin e-coat uses lead-free paint and chrome-free sealers in a closed system, significantly reducing hazardous emissions. E-coating contains minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), very low HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants) and produces minimal solid waste.
