Coating

Alex Products, Bryan Facility (Autocoat, LLC), offers two kinds of coating or paint systems – an electrocoating (E-Coat) system and a Powder coating system.

An electrocoating system applies a charge to a metal part that is then immersed in a coating bath. The process is highly automated and results in a high performing finish that delivers a uniform film build, color consistency, high yield rates and applied cost efficiency, in an environmentally friendly finishing system.

Powder coating is electrostatically applied to a surface as a finely ground powder then heated so that it flows and creates a consistent covering across the entire surface.
