E/Coat Division

Welcome to Seaver Finishing E/Coat Division.  Were a family owned business that was established in 1953.  In 1996, we opened our E/Coat facility.  Seaver E/Coat offers value by processing parts quickly and cost-effectively while providing our customer base with a level of quality and timely response that has made us a leader in the E/Coat business.

We excel at high volume production but are capable of processing smaller volume projects and short run job shop orders.  We offer customized scheduling opportunities that include short lead times or negotiated daily turns to meet our customer needs.  We also partner with our Powder Coat facility for dual coating parts for enhanced corrosion protection, cosmetic and visual appearance.  We can also negotiate trucking opportunities within our quote package that utilizes 10 shipping/receiving docks for enhanced truck to truck turn around capabilities.

Our process begins with racking parts onto specified tooling, either online or pre-racked parts that are transferred onto our overhead monorail conveyor where they travel through our 10 stage zinc phosphate pretreatment system, then plated in our 14,000 gallon paint tank, post rinse stage, cure oven and final packaging area. 

Seaver Management teams combines over 75 years of skilled E/Coat processing experience.  Our Quality Management system includes APQP activities to meet our customers’ requirements.

We are IATF:  16949: 2016 certified and CQI-12 compliant and have a robust QMS system with positive recall of production and quality records.

 

What is E/Coating?

Electrodeposition (E/Coat) is a process by which electrically charged particles are deposited out of water suspension to coat a conductive part.  During the process, the paint is applied to a specific film thickness, which is regulated by the amount of voltage applied.  The deposition is self-limiting and slows down as the applied coating electrically insulates the part.  Electro coat solids initially deposit in the areas closest to the counter electrode and, as these areas become insulated to current, solids are forced into more recessed bare metal areas to provide complete coverage.  This action is known as throw power.  This is a critical aspect of the electro coat process and its ability to coat densely racked parts and into recesses in that part.

 

E-Coat   Benefits of E/Coating

 

There are numerous benefits to electro coating, including cost efficiencies, line productivity and environmental advantages.  The cost efficiencies in Electro coating are higher transfer efficiency, precise film-build control, and lower labor requirements.  Increased line productivity in electro coating is accomplished by faster line speeds, dense racking of parts, non-uniform line loading, which reduces human fatigue and reduced errors.  The Environmental advantages are no or low VOC and HAPS free products, heavy metal-free products, reduced fire hazards and minimal waste discharge.  Creating an environment that is safer and healthier to its associates.
