How Bartakke Tackles Corrosion in Electrical Enclosures with BONDERITE® Coating Technology
Corrosion is the silent enemy of electrical enclosures. Here’s how we fight it.
The Challenge: Corrosion in Harsh Environments
For industries operating in outdoor, industrial, or chemical-exposed environments, electrical enclosures are the first line of defense against system failure. But when these enclosures are exposed to:
- Extreme temperature fluctuations
- Industrial fumes and corrosive chemicals
- Dust, humidity, and moisture
…it accelerates metal corrosion, leading to rust, structural degradation, and eventually failure in Ingress Protection (IP). Even a small compromise in the enclosure body can let in water and dust, threatening sensitive internal components and endangering operations.
The Solution: BONDERITE® Pre-Treatment + Advanced Powder Coating
At Bartakke Electrofab, we don’t just manufacture industrial enclosures—we engineer them to endure.
We’ve installed the Henkel-patented BONDERITE® Pre-treatment Coating Solution plant to add a powerful layer of corrosion defense to all ferrous enclosure components.
What is BONDERITE®?
BONDERITE® is a next-gen surface treatment that:
- Offers 1000+ hours of protection in Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) testing
- Is free from heavy metals and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
- Produces minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Is fully RoHS, ELV, and WEEE compliant
Combined with our automated powder coating technology, it forms a durable, high-performance shield against rust, corrosion, and environmental damage.
Why This Matters for Your Enclosure Investment
- Longer lifecycle of enclosures in aggressive environments
- Reduced maintenance costs and downtime due to fewer corrosion-related failures
- Higher IP protection reliability over time
- Sustainable and environmentally safe process — ideal for ESG-conscious companies
Use Cases That Demand Corrosion-Resistant Enclosures
Industries like:
- Oil & Gas
- Chemical Processing
- Wastewater Treatment
- Infrastructure & Rail
- Renewable Energy
…require enclosures that won’t fail due to rust, fumes, or salt-laden air.
Why Bartakke Electrofab?
We combine cutting-edge surface treatment with decades of enclosure manufacturing expertise. Our ability to deliver IP-rated, corrosion-resistant enclosures at scale makes us the trusted partner for leading OEMs, EPCs, and system integrators worldwide.
