Applications and Advances in Autodeposition Coatings

Increased restrictions on air and water emissions have led to expanded automotive industry applications for the environmentally-friendly autodeposition process which eliminates chemical conversion coatings, toxic metals and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Underbody suspension components and seating assemblies are currently being painted via autodeposition at many facilities worldwide, several of which have converted existing equipment to save on installation costs.

Daily line operations, control and maintenance of the process will be emphasized. Recent process improvements will also be discussed.
