Enhance Electroplating Jigs with Thermoplastic PE Powder PECOAT®EJ3065

PECOAT®EJ3065 is specially designed for electroplating jigs fixtures. Its outstanding resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, coupled with high – temperature stability, offers a level of protection that traditional materials simply cannot match.

Understanding Thermoplastic PE Powder Coat​

Thermoplastic PE powder coat, or polyethylene powder coating, is a thermoplastic polymer-based coating material applied through a process called fluidized bed dipping process. Unlike liquid paints, PE powder coat is fluidized bed dipped onto the surface of electroplating jigs and then cured under heat, forming a seamless, continuous film. This application method results in a coating that is thicker, more uniform, and far more resilient than conventional alternatives.​

Key Properties of Plastic PE Powder Coat PECOAT®EJ3065

Exceptional Acid and Alkali Corrosion Resistance​

One of the most remarkable features of PECOAT®EJ3065 is its exceptional resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. In electroplating operations, jigs are constantly exposed to aggressive electrolytes, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and caustic soda solutions. These chemicals can rapidly degrade the surface of unprotected jigs, causing pitting, rust, and structural weakening. PE powder coat PECOAT®EJ3065 acts as an impenetrable shield, chemically inert and impervious to these corrosive agents. Its molecular structure prevents chemical reactions with acids and alkalis, ensuring that the underlying metal of the jig remains intact even after prolonged exposure. This corrosion resistance not only extends the lifespan of the jigs but also maintains their dimensional stability, reducing the risk of deformation that could compromise the electroplating quality.​

High-Temperature Stability​

In addition to its corrosion resistance, thermoplastic PE powder coat PECOAT®EJ3065 excels in withstanding high temperatures. Electroplating processes often involve elevated temperatures, either during the plating itself or in subsequent drying and curing steps. Traditional coatings may soften, warp, or release harmful fumes under heat, but PE powder coat remains stable within a wide temperature range. With a melting point typically around 120 – 130°C, it can endure the heat generated during electroplating operations without losing its structural integrity or protective properties. This high – temperature resistance is crucial for maintaining the functionality of electroplating jigs, as it prevents coating degradation and ensures consistent performance over time.​

Operational Benefits of PE Powder Coat PECOAT®EJ3065 on Electroplating Jigs​

Cost Savings and Increased Throughput​

The application of thermo plastic PE powder coat on electroplating jigs offers numerous operational benefits. First, the reduced need for frequent replacements due to corrosion or heat damage translates into significant cost savings. Maintenance downtime is minimized, allowing for continuous production and increased throughput.

Improved Cleaning Efficiency and Product Quality​

Second, the smooth, non – porous surface of the PE coating reduces the adhesion of plating residues and chemicals, making the jigs easier to clean. This not only improves the efficiency of post – plating operations but also enhances the overall quality of the electroplated products by preventing contamination.​

Environmental Advantages​

Moreover, thermo plastic PE powder coat is an environmentally friendly option. Since it is applied in powder form without solvents, it eliminates the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the coating process. This aligns with growing environmental regulations and corporate sustainability goals, making it an attractive choice for eco – conscious manufacturers.​
