Autophoretic coating

ABT Products offers autophoretic coating as part of its in-house finishing capability, providing a highly durable, uniform protective coating for components and assemblies. Often considered a modern equivalent to E-coat, autophoretic coating is designed to deliver excellent corrosion resistance and consistent coverage, supporting long service life in demanding operating environments.

Consistent protection, inside and out

One of the key advantages of autophoretic coating is its ability to uniformly coat parts both inside and outside. This makes it ideal for fabricated components and complex assemblies where internal surfaces and hard-to-reach areas still require reliable protection.

Tank capacity for a wide range of parts

ABT’s autophoretic coating system includes a tank size of 3.2m x 2m x 2m, allowing a broad range of components to be processed in-house. This helps reduce reliance on third parties and supports better control of quality, lead times and production planning.

Proven performance characteristics

Autophoretic coating provides strong protection and durability, including:

  • Salt spray resistance over 800 hours
  • 6H pencil hardness
  • 0-T flexibility

These characteristics support a coating that is tough, resilient and suited to parts exposed to harsh conditions, impacts, vibration and regular cleaning.

Environmentally compliant finishing

ABT’s autophoretic coating process is environmentally compliant, supporting modern expectations around responsible manufacturing and controlled finishing processes, while still delivering the performance required for OEM programmes.

Low temperature curing for material flexibility

The coating cures at low temperature, which can allow a wider mix of materials and assemblies to be processed. This includes situations where components incorporate steel, rubber and plastics, helping maintain flexibility in design and assembly choices without compromising finish quality.
