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.
