Zinc Flake Coatings

Using high-resistance zinc flake coating for your metal assets helps prevent corrosion and preserves both appearance and mechanical properties.

What Is Zinc Flake Coating?

Zinc flake coating is a corrosion-resistant protective coating. Zinc provides sacrificial protection, safeguarding the substrate beneath from corrosive environmental conditions. Zinc coatings also create an electro-positive protective barrier, offering cathodic protection that extends the substrate lifespan.

How Is Zinc Flake Coating Used

Due to its high corrosion resistance, zinc flake coating can be applied to various high-demand industrial substrates where other coatings might struggle to perform at a high level. Zinc flake coating is commonly used in the following industries:

Automotive and transport: Zinc flake coating protects against daily wear and tear and contact with fuel substances.
Construction and infrastructure: Our zinc coating is designed to create a durable barrier that lasts for decades, ideal for structural steel, flooring and other substrates.
Agricultural and off-highway: High-strength fasteners, heavy-duty parts and other agricultural and off-highway applications can be strengthened with zinc flake coating.
Electrical: Zinc flake coating is ideal for motor parts, turbines and other essential hardware in the electrical industry.

The Advantages of Zinc Flake Coating

Here are some of the benefits that make zinc flake coating an obvious choice for many engineers and manufacturers looking for a coating solution:

Increase fastener performance: Zinc flake coating protects fasteners, such as bolts and screws, from corrosion.
Reduce hydrogen embrittlement: By acting as a sacrificial coating, zinc prevents corrosion-induced hydrogen generation. Zinc flake coating acts as a barrier layer that limits hydrogen diffusion into steel.
Improve durability: Zinc flake coating can be adjusted to match your requirements while enhancing substrate durability.
