Metal logo-difference between electrophoresis lattice frame and oil spraying-A

Metal Logo’ electrophoretic lattice frame and oil spraying (painting) are two different surface treatment processes, the main difference is reflected in the principle of the process, the appearance of the effect, performance characteristics, application scenarios and costs. The following is a specific analysis:

Process principle

Metal Logo Electrophoretic lattice frame (electrophoretic coating)

Electrophoretic coating is a process of depositing charged paint particles on the metal surface through the action of electric field. The specific process includes:

The metal logo is immersed into the electrophoretic paint tank as an electrode.

Under the action of DC electric field, the charged resin and pigment particles migrate towards the surface of the workpiece and are deposited.

After baking and curing, will form a uniform and dense coating

We use electrophoretic laths on metal surfaces to create protective and decorative coatings

Oil Spraying (Painting)

Paint spraying is to spray paint evenly on the surface of the workpiece after atomisation by a spray gun, relying on the adhesion of the paint and the drying process to form a coating. The specific process includes:

Surface pre-treatment ( degreasing, descaling, sanding).

Spraying the paint, which usually requires several coats to achieve the desired thickness.

Natural drying or baking to cure.

The spray painting process is flexible and applicable to a wide range of materials and shapes of workpieces.

Appearance effect

Metal Logo Electrophoretic lattice frame

Uniform coating, good coverage of edges and depressions, suitable for complex shaped workpieces.

Smooth surface with adjustable gloss (matte, semi-gloss, high-gloss).

Relatively limited choice of colours, but we can achive a wide range of colours by paint mixing.

Oil spraying (lacquering)

it can achive the variety of appearance effects, high gloss, matte, metallic, texture effects, etc.

A wide selection of colours is available, and we can achive almost any colour by colour mixing.

The operating techniques will affect thickness and uniformity of spraying , and defects such as flow marks and orange peel may exist.

Performance characteristics

Electrophoretic lattice frame Metal Logo

Strong corrosion resistance

Strong corrosion resistance: The dense electrophoretic coating can effectively isolate the metal from the external environment, let it suitable for outdoor or humid environments.

Good adhesion

The coating adheres firmly to the metal substrate and does not peel off easily

Environmental protection

electrophoretic paint is mostly water-based, with low Volatile Organic Compoundsemission, which is in line with environmental protection requirements.

Abrasion resistance

the coating has high hardness and good abrasion resistance.

Oil spraying (painting)

Highly decorative

A variety of processes can make rich appearance effects

Weathering resistance

according to the type of paint (such as acrylic, polyurethane, fluorocarbon paint), there is a big difference in weathering resistance, and the weathering resistance of high-end paints is excellent.

Repairability

we can repare the local damage by touching up the paint, but there may be colour differences.

Abrasion resistance: depends on the type of paint and coating thickness, generally slightly worse than electrophoretic coating.Metal Logo
