A novel and simple coating process to color metals has been invented by polymer chemists at Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan. This invention helps saving the energy and leads to higher performance.
Electrophoretic deposition refers to a standard industrial method employed for coating material and is particularly used for rust prevention. However, the existing methods need an expensive and complex process requiring three coating steps, adding time and cost. Professor Akinori Takasu and his team report novel non-ionic polymers capable of being used with electrophoretic deposition, thus simplifying the coating to only a single step and bringing about a major reduction in energy demands.
