Bus Bars – Coated with Resicoat® EL3
Eco-Friendly Power Distribution for a Greener Future
Sustainable Energy
As the global demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, so does the need for reliable, efficient, and long-lasting electrical components. One of the key elements in modern electrical systems is the bus bar — a conductive metal strip used to distribute power within switchgear, distribution boards, and a wide variety of electrical devices.
At V.I.P. Verniciatura Industriale Pesarese Srl, we specialize in industrial coating solutions and offer advanced protection for bus bars using Resicoat® EL3, an epoxy powder coating applied by fluidized bed immersion. This method ensures top-tier electrical insulation, environmental protection, and mechanical durability.
What about the coating
Resicoat® EL3 is a high-performance epoxy coating system developed by AkzoNobel. It is specifically designed to provide electrical insulation and corrosion protection for copper or aluminum bus bars and conductive parts used in medium- and low-voltage applications.
The fluidized bed coating process involves heating the metal part and immersing it in a tank of suspended epoxy powder. The powder melts on contact, creating a seamless, uniform, and highly adhesive coating — ideal for complex geometries and high-performance requirements.
Coating System for Bus Bars
