ZnCoat™

Looking for better, more consistent performance?

ZnCoat™ - 240 hours SST	Zinc Plating / Trivalent - 72 hours SST

Issue

Due to toxicity issues, regulations have been issued, limiting or even banning the use of certain materials, including hexavalent chromium (Cr⁺⁶) which has been used extensively as passivation for zinc plating. Many Cr⁺⁶ applications have been replaced by trivalent chromium (Cr⁺³). Unfortunately, Cr⁺³ performance has been inconsistent and poor when compared to Cr⁺⁶. Higher performance and consistent quality have been available with other surface treatments, but at a higher cost, and often with more performance than the application needs.

Solution

Now, ZnCoat™ offers superior corrosion resistance and consistent quality for no extra cost, when compared to commercial zinc/trivalent, baked for hydrogen embrittlement relief. ZnCoat™ is chrome-free, does not promote hydrogen embrittlement and is a thin coating (8-10μm / 0.3-0.4 mils) that is an ideal drop-in replacement for applications that currently call for environmentally compliant zinc plating.

Available in Silver, Yellow & Black.
