Many coated parts have severe specifications for creep from scribe in the center of parts/panels, but allow for edges to be taped or edge corrosion to be Ignored. We recommend that customer evaluate the failure mode of their current production and determine whether edge corrosion is an issue that Needs to be addressed with their current coating material. This may allow them to consider Autophoretic Coatings as a higher quality coating process. Aquence 930 . Ecoat . SEM, 1000X . 7

AQUENCE® Aquence 900 Series Coatings are environmentally responsible 31. Dezember 2017 AQUENCE® Aquence 900 Series Coatings are environmentally responsible Very Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and eliminates hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylates (APE) free Compliant to various regulatory directives or registrations: RoHS, ELV and WEEE No toxic heavy metals as supplied Significant process improvements Decreased energy consumption Simplify wastewater treatment and disposal Smaller equipment footprint Aquence™, next generation water-based autodeposition coating is used frequently to coat frames and chassis. With Aquence™, customers have been able to realize a 40 percent footprint reduction in their paint shop, reduce capital expenditures and paint shop complexity while decreasing energy consumption, eliminating heavy metal sludge, and improving inside-out corrosion performance.

Aquence 930 Major Benefits Fully coats the inside of tubular structures Good prime layer for powder coating using the Henkel Co-cure process Superior edge coating—see electron micrograph Very green—virtually no VOCs and coupled with powder coating this is a very environmentally friendly process Superior impact flexibility for Aquence
