Chemical Pre-Treatment – Preparing for Perfection
Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving a durable, high-performance zinc flake coating. Our chemical pre-treatment process removes contaminants, improves coating consistency, and prepares metal surfaces for optimal adhesion. Unlike conventional electroplating, zinc flake coatings avoid the electroplating-related risk of hydrogen embrittlement, making them suitable for high-strength steel fasteners.
- Alkaline Cleaning : Effectively removes oils, grease, dirt, and other surface contaminants.
- Solvent Cleaning : Dissolves stubborn organic residues to ensure a clean, coating-ready surface.
- Rinsing : Removes residual cleaning chemicals and prevents contamination of subsequent processes.
- Optional Corrosion Inhibitors : Helps prevent flash rust formation during intermediate processing when required.
- Controlled Drying : Eliminates residual moisture and ensures the surface is ready for the zinc flake coating application.
