Overview
Anode Cells, also known as Anolyte Cells, are essential components in cathodic electrophoretic coating (e-coating) systems. They serve to isolate the anode from the paint bath while allowing ion exchange through a selective membrane. This separation helps maintain bath consistency and enhances the overall coating quality.
Working Principle
- Each Anode Cell is made up of a corrosion-resistant stainless steel anode encased in an ion exchange membrane. During e-coating, under DC voltage, positively charged ions (such as amines or contaminants) migrate through the membrane into the anolyte solution. This process:
- Helps control the pH balance in the bath
- Improves paint stability and life span
- Reduces contamination and coating defects
