The conductivity of electrocoat baths results from the presence of ionic species in the bath, which come from the vehicle and from the presence of impurities present as ionizable acids, bases, salts, or combinations of these. The presence of excessive amounts of ionic impurities is detrimental to the application and performance properties of electrocoating paints. The test is suitable for use in research, production, quality control and electrocoat bath process control.
