E-COATING The Benefits of a Two-Coat System
The switch to a new two-coat electrocoat finishing system is helping Kohler reduce rework, paint usage and VOC emissions.

Controlling Pretreatment Costs and Quality
There are plenty of opportunities to reduce costs and improve the quality of pretreatment. Technologies such as bioremediation and new dried-in-place processes are prolonging bath life and simplifying chemical and equipment usage.

Many finishing systems are not a good fit for the parts they run. Experienced turnkey suppliers can help ensure products meet expectations and are consistently produced for the lowest price.
