Phosphating

( Zinc & Manganese )

Key properties of phosphating include the application of a porous crystalline coating, typically applied to ferrous-based materials. This process is non-electrolytic, with the phosphate layer forming through catalytic action between the component material and the phosphating solution. This catalytic reaction ensures an exceptionally strong bond between the phosphate layer and the component surface.

This catalytic reaction ensures an exceptionally strong bond between the phosphate layer and the component surface. The coating produced is crystalline and porous, serving as an excellent base for subsequent applications. As an undercoat for paints, it significantly improves adhesion, while the application of specialized oils and greases enhances corrosion resistance and provides lubricity for further manufacturing processes.

Accurate Edge offers high-quality zinc phosphate coating, which provides a finer grain structure with a versatile range of achievable thicknesses. This coating is widely used to improve paint adhesion and corrosion resistance. We also provide black phosphate coating, which delivers a uniform, dark protective layer with enhanced durability. For applications requiring a smooth, matte protective layer, our black phosphate finish ensures superior performance, particularly in industrial and automotive components.
