Why is Zinc Flake Coating Important ?
ADVANTAGES OF ZINC FLAKE COATING (GEOMET®)
APPLICATIONS
Zinc Flake Coating Can Play Important Role In Solar Panel Fitment
Due to Corrosion, solar panel fitment can corrode over the years, as it placed in the outdoors, where it’s limit will be tested. zinc flake coating can overcome with the problem of corrosion
Benefits Of Zinc Flake Coating
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”
FRICTION COEFFICIENT STABILIZERS
Zinc Flake Coating (GEOMET®) includes PLUS®SERIES coating solutions used as overcoating for
