PROCESS

Zinc plating is an electrolytic zinc deposit obtained in an alkaline or acidic medium

in accordance with the new environmental guidelines.

The exceptional properties of zinc protect the parts against external aggression

external influences:

- Anti-corrosion properties of the deposit

- Aesthetic quality of the finish

- Universal application (from M3 screws to city barriers)

 

The performance of electrolytic zinc coatings continues to improve in terms of

corrosion resistance, coefficient of friction and environmental friendliness.

and environmental friendliness.

 

Processes used:

- Barrel coatings (bulk) in automated production for parts that are not

impact resistant parts.

- Unitary coatings for large, fragile parts or parts requiring a perfect

perfect appearance.

- From small to large series

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEPOSIT

- Thickness: 5 to 20µm

- Corrosion resistance: white rust 24h to 96h; red rust 200h to 400h

depending on finish

- Substrate: Steel and cast iron

- Electrical conductivity: YES

- Excellent ductility, ability to deform

- Economical'' process

- Sacrificial coating

FINISHES

-Passivation: white, yellow, black or green

-Organic mineral finish (FOM or Top Coat) :

- reinforced (increases corrosion resistance)

- lubricated (control of the friction coefficient)

- reinforced and lubricated (combines corrosion resistance and improved coefficient of

friction

-The coefficient of friction is controlled according to the finishes chosen.
