The oven cure for the E-coat can be as high as 200°C For as long as 30 minutes
Typical finishes used on automotive parts . The typical finishes for the automobile are shown above. . Each one of these coatings goes through a typical cure cycle of 180°C for 30min*. . The E-coat currently has the highest temperature cure up to 200°C for up to 40 minutes. . Materials need to be able to withstand these temperatures for the duration of the cure.
