ZEC-888 is a new chrome free coating from the specialist Italian coating manufacturers Glomax, originally developed and patented by Seimitsu Kako Kenkyusho HSK-Hoden Co., Ltd.
The material is a Solvent-based product with silicon nano technology. When applied produces a thin transparent coating with wound healing properties for a high protection against corrosion.
The ZEC-888 improves the corrosion resistance of zinc and its alloys, by inhibiting the white corrosion of the zinc and thus increasing the resistance to red rust of the iron below. Once applied the ZEC-888 on the surface of zinc forms a reaction layer between zinc
and the ZEC-888 producing a strong chemical bond. The total thickness of the coating of zinc is around 1 micron.
Neutral salt spray tests have confirmed its exceptional corrosion resistance with a resistance to white rust of 200-400 hours and the red rust of 720-1000 hours that depends on the type of object, the thickness of zinc and the presence or absence of passivation between the zinc and ZEC-888.
Due to its very low viscosity, easily avoids the problems of filling of the recess.
ZEC-888 can be used on:-
1) Electrolytic Zinc and Zinc Nickel
2) Mechanical Zinc plating
3) Zinc Die Cast
4) Passivated Zinc
5) Zinc Flakes
