What is C CURT Coating

Panasonic has specified C CURT coating on aluminium casings used for washing machines.

Can you tell me what it is, how it is applied and what is the testing required?

Hi, Supreet.
C CURT is a magical coating that renders aluminum castings (which would otherwise be a ludicrous material of construction for the highly alkaline environment of a washing machine) into an acceptable design. Sorry, just being satirical and remembering the video on thread/topic 53569 wherein a washing machine had to be scrapped because it's aluminum castings completely corroded away and failed in 6 years (I wouldn't trade my 28 year old all-steel never-serviced-once Maytag for any 2 of today's most expensive machines).

On a more serious note, sorry, that coating identification means nothing to me. Maybe another reader has heard of it or will recognize a typo or something. Good luck.

Regards,

Ted Mooney, P.E.
