Zinc phosphate and its applications
Generally zinc phosphate conversion coating is used to provide long lasting corrosion protection. Almost all automotive industries use this type of conversion coating. It is suitable for the products come against hard weather conditions. Coating quality is better than iron phosphate coating. It forms 2 – 5 gr/m² coating on the metal surface when used as under paint. Application, set up and control of this process are more difficult than other methods and can be applied by immersion or spray.Read More …
What is Zinc Phosphate Coatings
Zinc phosphate coating is preffered in case of requirement of higher corrosion resistance than iron phosphate. It can be used as base for paintings (especially for thermosetting powder coating), before cold drawing / cold forming of steel and prior application of protective oil / lubrication. This is often the method chosen when long life under corrosive conditions is required. Coating is also very good with zinc phosphate because the crystals form a porous surface which can soak up and mechanicallyRead More …
