Aquence branded coating technology, previously marketed under the Autophoretic® name, recently set new industry precedent by displacing conventional metal pretreatment and the electrocoat process for an entire automotive vehicle body.

The Simple Solution to Complex Parts
Autodeposition is a chemical coating process where an organic polymeric emulsion chemically deposits on the surface of a clean metal substrate.


Uniquely Uniform
A unique feature of the autodeposition process is the formation of a uniform film over the entire surface of the work piece, even in difficult-to-reach areas.




SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) photos show a uniform, tight, autodeposited wet film before coalescence/curing, and consistent coating thickness around edge of razor blade.

This allows the coating dispersion to flow into and around the most complex shapes. Unlike coating processes that require a charge to deposit the coating (i.e., where electrical energy is required to "throw" the coating into recessed areas) autodeposition will coat tubular, assembled, or intricate design areas uniformly.
