Zinc Plating

Zinc plating is used to protect and improve the appearance of ferrous metals (iron and steel), creating a corrosion barrier and a sacrificial coating. We can apply chromate conversion coatings over zinc plating as well as post-plate sealers. These give extra protection against corrosion, specially useful in conditions of high moisture or humidity. Zinc plating features: Relatively cheap coating method Prevents oxidation by forming a barrier and acting as a sacrificial anode if the barrier is damaged Decorative if used with chromate conversions – gold, clear or black finish Good base coat for paint on ferrous metal Maximum Part Size: 800 x 490 x 490 Zinc plating standards available: Def Stan 03-20 BS EN 12329:2000 ASTM B633 – 13 BS 6338:1982 / ISO 4520:1981 BS 3382:1961
