A chemical conversion treatment that forms a non-metallic crystalline layer, mainly zinc and manganese phosphates, on steel. Unlike zinc coatings, its main purpose is to significantly reduce friction, prevent galling during break-in, and act as a porous, absorbent base that helps retain lubricating oils over time.
Coating thickness range for each process, in microns (µm). 1 µm is one thousandth of a millimeter.
On its own, it offers limited protection against environmental corrosion. Its resistance increases considerably when combined with the rust-inhibiting oil or lubricant that the part naturally retains in its porous structure.
Because it forms a denser, thicker layer (8 to 12 microns) than conventional light phosphates, which are used mainly as a pretreatment for paint adhesion.
A cyanide-free silver coating that protects metal components from rust. Excellent metal distribution and an ideal base for parts that will later receive KTL (e-coat) paint.
