UltraProtect® is a new process for corrosion protection of metals. UltraProtect® combines an excellent corrosion resistance with a solid looking finish.
With UltraProtect® a considerably higher corrosion protection is possible than with hot dip galvanization. UltraProtect® guarantees a corrosion resistance of over 1.000 hours salt spray test without red rust. At the same time UltraProtect® is the ideal treatment for threaded products.
Conclusion: UltraProtect® offers all the positive features of elektro zinc plating, but has the appearance of hot dip galvanizing. Loko Gramsbergen B.V. has exclusivity for applying this treatment for the Benelux. UltraProtect® is available for rack galvanization and for barrel line galvanization.
