The Ultimate in Corrosion Protection:
Lincoln's E-coat Process.
| One contributor to long motor life expectancy is the protection of key components from the
elements. Lincoln selected an electrodeposition e-coat system to prime paint its Cleveland-built motors for the
best corrosion-protection available in the motor industry. This type of system is used
extensively by automobile manufacturers to greatly extend body life through tremendously
increased resistance to corrosion from environmental conditions. |

Why E-coat?
Electrodeposition painting inherently offers numerous advantages over traditional painting.
A Lincoln team worked closely with George Koch Sons of Evansville,Indiana to build on these
benefits, engineering a proprietary system specifically geared to Lincoln customers. |
Improves Motor Finish
The e-coat process provides the most consistent paint undercoat available anywhere for total
coverage without drips, runs or blemishes.
| Positively charged paint particles are deposited on the entire surface of a negatively charged
motor, inside and out, including all hard-to-reach surfaces. This makes e-coat highly suited to
complex configurations, delivering a tough, completely bonded undercoat.
Finishes are longer lasting and corrosion-resistant. They appear uniform in color regardless of
the type or size of part. |
Accommodates All Motors
The seven-phase pretreatment system, finishing stage and curing stage are equally effective for
undercoating aluminum, cast iron, steel and galvanized steel.
Motors can be primed only or completely painted. The e-coat primer will accept virtually any
topcoat including urethanes, waterbornes, epoxies and hybrids.
Preserves the Environment
Any excess, nonbonded paint is rinsed away after e-coating and immediately recycled back into
the system. The system's integral wastewater treatment is simple to maintain and free of
hazardous waste.
The Benefit To You
The resulting corrosion protection from moisture, salt and chemical attach is unsurpassed: test
show no primer degradation after 300 hours of salt fog exposure.
