Dielectric Powder Coating
Dielectric coatings are designed to prevent arcing within the battery enclosure and must be applied in precise areas to electrically isolate certain parts of the metal. Our years of experience in CAD design and application of masking schemes are essential for the efficacy of Resicoat systems. These coatings also need to be applied at the exact thickness required for electrical isolation and free from even the smallest pinhole. Any failure in the integrity of the coating would result in unsafe leakage of current.
