June 11, 2008

Hi, Mina. No difference really; it's just semantics. E-coat is shorthand for electrophoretic coating. Cataphoretic coating is an electrophroretic coating process when the part being coated is cathodic; anophoretic coating is an electrophoretic coating process where the part being coated is anodic.
