Phosphate Coating

 

Our Zinc Phosphate coatings exceed the American Petroleum Institute specifications for coating weight, yet maintain a fine crystal structure that can hold oils and withstand handling.  This ability to hold oils provides excellent anti-corrosion properties that make our coating especially suitable for the harsh environments found in the oil field industry, and anti-galling characteristics that are desirable on threaded products.  It also has many applications in automotive and other industries because of its corrosion protection and ability to hold lubricants. This coating is also an excellent paint base.
