PHOSPHATE CONVERSION COATINGS

Zinc, iron and manganese phosphate solutions for ferrous metal pre-treatment.

​

Phosphate conversion coatings are used to chemically condition ferrous metal surfaces before downstream coating, finishing or forming processes.

​

Safic supplies phosphate systems that support corrosion protection, paint adhesion, lubricity and wear resistance, depending on the phosphate type, process conditions and application requirements.

What This Solution
Supports

Rust, oxide and scale removal solutions are used where metal surfaces need to be restored or prepared before further processing.

​

Before acid treatment, surfaces should be clean and free from oil, grease and general dirt. Ferrous metals treated with acid-based products may be susceptible to oxidation after treatment and should be coated or suitably protected.

Typical
Applications

  • Rust removal

  • Oxide removal

  • Mill scale removal

  • Lime deposit removal

  • Acid cleaning

  • Surface preparation before coating

  • Surface preparation before corrosion protection
