Zinc

One of the most frequently used processes to achieve secure and cost-effective protection against corrosion is the electroplating of zinc. Steel workpieces whose surfaces are galvanized offer effective corrosion protection. Zinc has a negative potential compared to iron. Zinc is therefore very well suited as a sacrificial anode for the cathodic corrosion protection of iron alloys (remote protective action).

A further advantage of zinc is that workpieces are protected against rust even if the upper coating is damaged. Thanks to this property, sub-rusting is almost impossible. Galvanically galvanized components with passivation provide an excellent base for subsequent powder coating or painting. In addition, compared to other systems, there is a very homogeneous coating as its surface has almost no texture and only replicates the pre-existing surface.

The corrosion protection properties can be further improved by means of thick-film passivation and sealing.

Maximum workpiece size

6.000 x 1.500 x 450 mm

Advantages

  • deposited from alkaline-cyanide-free zinc electrolyte
  • excellent metal distribution
  • good corrosion protection with sealing upon request
  • excellent throwing power
  • optimal connection to the base material
  • transparent look
  • chromium-VI and cobalt-free surface
  • very good paintability

Applications

  • machinery and facility construction
  • shop fitting
  • automotive
  • electrical
  • agricultural machinery
  • fastening elements, screws, nuts, ...
  • etc.

Sealings / Top Coats

Sealings serve to fulfil special requirements. Components in the construction, automotive, agricultural machinery or electrical industries, for example, which do not yet exhibit the required properties with zinc and zinc alloys and subsequent chrome III passivation, can be additionally protected against a wide range of environmental influences by sealing the passivated zinc and alloy coatings.

A sealing is based on the principle of active corrosion protection and remains unchanged - even after heat treatments > 120 °C for several hours and mechanical stresses such as scratching, hitting, tightening of screws. A scratch down to the zinc coating, for example, does not lead to immediate white rust due to the self-healing effect.
