Thick-film Passivation

Home » Surface Treatments » Thick-film Passivation

Loko Galvano was one of the first galvanising companies to specialise in thick-film passivation.

Features & Benefits

  • Very high corrosion resistance
  • The possibility of combining with a relatively thin zinc layer
  • Temperature resistance up to 210°C
  • Reduced environmental impact (Chrome 6 free)

Applying sealing can even further improve the corrosion resistance after thick layer passivation. We use Gleitstar® topcoat. This post-treatment has a repairing effect on scratches and light damage and is particularly suitable for drum work.

Thick-layer passivation is pre-eminently suited for products that are currently hot-dip galvanised. Examples are fencing components, fastening materials, bodywork parts, stable construction materials, and other products used in corrosive circumstances.

Advantages of thick-film versus thermal galvanising

  • Suitable for screw thread (without chasing)
  • Visually more attractive (the original zinc colour is retained, while hot-dip galvanised products quickly turn white)
  • More environmentally friendly as the zinc layer does not contain cobalt, and it even minimises the use of zinc to the minimum
  • More cost-effective
