The pretreated/primed parts are also coated in the company using the powder coating, that is, electrified particles get stuck onto the surface of the part. If the parts are heated in the oven to ~ 200 °C, paint particles thermoplastify – they melt and cure.
The coated parts can be:
• degreased,
• phosphatized,
• or coated with the E-coat/KTL which, in this case, acts as a primer. This two layer coating is standardized and most often used for painting of trucks and agricultural machine parts.
