Electrophoretic Coating Applications in Home Appliances & Metal Household | YDNResin
Industry Background
Metal is widely used as casings and structural parts in home appliances and kitchen/bathroom components due to its strength, formability, and thermal conductivity. However, these products are often exposed to humidity, temperature cycles, oil fumes, and cleaning chemicals, which makes metal highly susceptible to corrosion, rust, scratches, and surface degradation.
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has become the preferred surface treatment in this sector. Compared with traditional painting or plating, EPD offers uniform coverage, dense film structure, superior durability, and low VOC compliance.
