-----Application of Autophoretic® coatings for chassis painting
I need to know the performance of Autophoretic® chemical coatings on truck chassis or MUV Frames. How much it is competitive over Cathodic Electrocoat, if used in place of e-coat for frame coatings. Primarily long term performance for corrosion protection, heat resistance, solvent resistance & gasoline / oil resistance.

The company which offers the Autophoretic® process has a booklet outlining the advantages of their process over E-coat. The purveyors of E-coat have a booklet outlining the ways in which Autophoretic® is inferior to E-coat. Start with those two booklets :-)

Automobile companies are using Cathodic Electrocoating rather than Autophoretic. I am sure quite a few would have considered both the options before making CED ⇦ huh? the de facto standard.
Another information specific to India, there are three or more supplier of CED paint chemicals whereas there is one supplier of Autophoretic® paint chemicals. When I assessed the two processes, this was the deciding factor to go in for CED technology.
