The range of products required to activate the surface, prior to phosphating. It is a suspension of colloidal titanium which influences compact, fine, micro crystalline and uniform phosphate coating with shorter treatment time.
Fixodine® 50
Product Brief
Titanium Phosphate Base Activating Compound for Dip / Spray Zinc Phosphate process
Description
Fixodine 50 is a conditioning rinse additive formulated with a complexing agent to compensate for water hardness. It is used to activate steel and zinc coated steel prior to zinc phosphating. It eliminates the coarse, crystalline coatings sometimes obtained on zinc surfaces, and on steel surfaces, which have been pickled with acid or cleaned with strong alkali. It promotes the formation of a dense, finely crystalline phosphate coating which is the preferred base for paint and which has superior corrosion resistance.
Kem Activator® 1
Product Brief
Surface Conditioning Compound
Description
Kem Activator 1 is a blend of titanated compounds manufactured by a unique,specially developed process. It activates steel surfaces and accelerates the formation of a light, fine-grained, microcrystalline zinc phosphate coating.
The use of Kem Activator 1 either incorporated in the degreasing bath or when used in a rinse stage prior to zinc phosphating will yield the following improved performance:
Produces a compact, microcrystalline coating with higher crystal density and lower coating weight. Process time for the formation of a complete coating is reduced dramatically.
Application
Zinc phosphating can be performed at substantially lower, even ambient, temperatures. Improved paint adhesion and superior corrosion resistance properties.
