The Anochrome Group would like to announce the introduction of Lafre Zinc Flake materials from Nihon Ruspert Co. Ltd as an addition to the range of products already available from the groups Dip spin and Spray facilities.
The Lafre material has shown under production conditions to be able to produce exceptional salt spray results with a 28gm 2 coatings of over 3000 hours ASTM B117 possible from the Lafre LB Coatings on a 2 coat dip spin process and over 2000 hours with a 10 um single coat spray process on aluminium oxide blasted fasteners. The performance can be even further enhanced with the addition of a clear black top coat.
The material is compatible with the range of micro en-capsulated adhesives and thread sealant available from InLex Locking Limited and Anocote cz and Rimlex under heat sealants. The processed surface coefficient of 0.12-0.18 is in the middle of the normal range of specified coating so no additional torque modifying top coats would normally be required for Lafre LB.
Lafre LB has a cure temperature of 200 c and is suitable for use on fasteners, clips, brackets and studs both large and small and in line with the range of Zinc Flake finishes available from the Anochrome Group such as Geomet Magni Doerken and Atotech materials which are none embrittling.
This new finish is available as a dip spin coating from Wolverhampton Electroplating Ltd and Anocote cz and as a spray or dip drain coating from Anochrome Technologies Ltd. If you require further information please email [email protected]
