BASF introduces new coating product.

Lugalvan EDC from BASF is a transparent, cathodic electrodeposition coating with very high scratch resistance. This new transparent product for sealing metal surfaces differs from conventional electrodeposition coatings in that it is not pigmented, which makes it more versatile. Lugalvan EDC forms a crystal-clear layer that protects metal from corrosion and prevents it from tarnishing. Because it is applied by electrophoretic deposition, this new product is particularly suited to the demands of electroplating companies. The main practical advantage of Lugalvan EDC is that it consists of only one-component, which makes it easier to use than the conventional two-component on today's market, according to the company.
