New developments in Autophoretic and Electrophoretic Coatings

2006

Please inform whether there are any new developments in Autophoretic / Electrophoretic coating applications in Auto component Industry in your country ? Will these become obsolete in near future?

This is vital for me to know because we are planning a small unit which would do these jobs as an outsourced basis.

Will I know when my question is answered on my email?

Hello Manohar. Unfortunately, there is something a little bit oxymoronic about hoping to passively ride the cutting edge.

I'm pretty sure you already know that to keep on the cutting edge you need to aggressively search the calendar for seminars, search the new issues of the journals, watch for new releases of books on the subject, attend meetings in related fields, and keep active in the internet forums and on the phone or social media with your peers. I'm just reassuring you that this forum doesn't offer a magic alternative and we won't delude you by promising to automatically alert you to new stuff. But we welcome you and hope we can be a small part of the process. :-)
