- OSHA-, RoHS-, and EPA-approved: E-coating is approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) program, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Minimal environmental impact: EDP plating has minimal to no environmental impact. The coating material is not easily flammable.
- Corrosion resistance: EDP coating helps prevent metal parts from rusting and degrading.
- Smooth surface: EDP plating can produce a smooth surface with a uniform thickness.
