Why is Zinc Flake Coating Important ?

  • DURING THE DESIGN OF EVERYTHING FROM MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES TO BUILDINGS, CORROSION PROTECTION IS A KEY CONSIDERATION.
  • EVEN THE SMALLEST COMPONENTS, SUCH AS NUTS AND BOLTS, MUST BE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED FROM CORROSION. OTHERWISE, THE RISK OF COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OR STRUCTURE.
  • ZINC FLAKE COATING (GEOMET®) IS AN IDEAL SOLUTION FOR THESE APPLICATIONS.
  • BECAUSE THE FILM IS EXTREMELY THIN-ONLY ABOUT 8 Microns – IT WONT NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE OPTIMAL FIT BETWEEN BOLTS AND NUTS
  • ZINC FLAKE COATING (GEOMET®) coating film has a silver-metallic look. Layers of metal flakes are connected with one another through the use of a special inorganic binder.
  • 2C2B is the standard manufacturing process

ADVANTAGES OF ZINC FLAKE COATING (GEOMET®)

  • Non – pollution, environmentally responsible GEOMET® is a water-based coating technology that is completely free from chromium.
  • Outstanding resistance to the salt spray test and cyclic corrosion test.
  • Superb resistance to heat and corrosion.
  • Superior prevention of galvanic corrosion of aluminum.
  • No concern for hydrogen embrittlement.
  • Excellent coating properties.
  • UV Resistance & Fluid Resistance

Zinc Flake Coating To The Rescue In Indian Railways

Due to CORROSION, the railways incurs huge losses annually, corrosion poses a THREAT TO PASSENGER SAFETY & impacts daily travel since a TRAIN’S SPEED IS REDUCED. RDSO STANDARD, DOC NO.BS-S-7.5.3.1-7

Benefits Of Zinc Flake Coating

  • Lower The Maintenance Cost
  • Rust & Corrosion Prevention
  • No Hydrogen Embrittlement.
  • UV Resistance
  • Fluid Resistance
  • SST LIFE (720 ̴1500Hrs Without Red Rust)
  • Environmental Friendly
  • Reduce Scrap
  • Resistant To Extreme Temperatures
  • No Warm-loosening Torque
  • Completely Chrome-free
  • No More Change Of Parts Due To Corrosion.

INDIA LOSES AROUND 5-7% OF ITS GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) EVERY YEAR DUE TO CORROSION.

THE FINANCIAL LOSS OF THE NATION CAN BE CONTROLLED BY USING “ZINC FLAKE COATING”
