Cataphoretic Lacquers - Functional and Decorative Finishing
Technic offers a range of cataphoretic lacquers to manufacturers in the decorative metal finishing industry for jewelry, door fittings, furniture and fashion applications.
Cataphoretic lacquers (also known as e-coat) are typically utilized to provide the plated parts with high corrosion resistance, increased hardness and high wear resistance. They also ease the process of varnishing hard-to-reach areas, as the parts are fully immersed in the solution.
Another advantage of using cataphoretic lacquers is easier thickness regulation compared to other paint coating types (e.g. powder).

Matting Agents
Matting agents are used to modify surface properties. They are primarily used to reduce the surface gloss, but can also provide additional mechanical properties. Designed to achieve a specific luster of finish, our matting agents can be manufactured in degrees to your specifications. From a slight semi-gloss to a frosty, full matte finish.
