CathoGuard 800 is BASF’s latest e-coat technology for OEM car manufacturers. Because it is tin-free and contains less solvent the technology is considered to be environmentally friendly, a key attribute of products used by automakers.
General Motors (GM) has transitioned to BASF’s CathoGuard 800 cathodic e-coat at its plants throughout the world – including in Russia, China, Brazil and North America.
