PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


POWERCRON 6200HE is the most recent enhancement of the 6
th
generation
cationic epoxy electrocoat from PPG Industries. This product demonstrates several
improvements over earlier generation cationic epoxies. These benefits include
excellent corrosion protection on the edges, broader film build capabilities,
improved transfer efficiency, reduced cure temperature, lower film density,
excellent chemical resistance and corrosion resistance without the use of heavy
metals.

POWERCRON 6200HE exhibits one of the highest transfer efficiencies available
in a cationic epoxy electrocoat. This was achieved through a reduction in the
amount of by-products released from the coating (weight loss) during the cure
process. This lower weight loss translates into lower paint usage. In addition,
applicators and the environment benefit from a reduction in oven emissions.

POWERCRON 6200HE cures as low as 155C, providing applicators with energy
savings and the potential to increase productivity.

*POWERCRON 6200HE formulations are also available to pass the latest
environmental regulations, WGK1 rating.

POWERCRON 6200HE was formulated to meet automotive industry corrosion
resistance requirements without the use of heavy metals, namely lead. It was also
designed to provide good corrosion resistance on zinc phosphated substrates
without requiring a chrome sealer.
