Four-Way
Corrosion Resistance
1.
Barrier Protection Many overlapping zinc and aluminum
flakes provide an excellent barrier
2. Galvanic Action
Zinc corrodes to protect steel
3. Passivation
Metal oxides in matrix slow down corrosion reactions of
zinc and steel
4. Self-Repairing
Damaged areas in the coating fill with zinc oxides and
carbonates |
2
Bimetallic Capabilities
Due to the concentration of aluminum within the coating, good
bi-metallic corrosion resistance with aluminum is accomplished
3
Solvent Resistant
When DACROMET® is cured on the metal surface, the coating
becomes inorganic, and thus resistant to solvents, gasoline,
brake fluids, etc.
4
Electrically Conductive
The high concentration of metallic flake enables DACROTIZED®
parts to be electrically conductive
5
Hydrogen Embrittlement
Free
The absence of acids or electrolysis in the coating process
assures freedom from Hydrogen Embitterment, which is commonly
associated with the electroplating process
6
Paint Base
DACROMET® is a base for most paints, including electro-deposited
paint
