Passivation substantially improves both the corrosion resistance and the appearance after galvanising. We have modern zinc passivation processes that meet the following requirements and directives:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1957″ img_size=”large” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1718820603748{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1717628059564{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Blue Passivation<\/h3>\n

Blue passivation, or blue chromating, produces a shiny, slightly blue, almost chrome-coloured surface on the electro-galvanised part. Thanks to its low cost, blue passivation can also be used as a good adhesion coating for paint, which also improves corrosion resistance. The blue passivated surface has a very finished appearance and is ideal for interior structures and visible parts. The blue passivation method we use is also RoHS compliant.<\/p>\n

Black passivation<\/h3>\n

Black passivation, or black chromating, gives a zinc-iron coated piece a clean, shiny black appearance. Black passivation is particularly recommended for applications where very good corrosion protection is required. Black passivated articles are now also RoHS compliant. The black-passivated surface has a very finished look and is suitable as a replacement for a painted piece in many cases. Black passivation is done on a zinc-iron coating, which gives very good corrosion resistance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1717628348671{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1717628091127{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Thick film passivation or yellow passivation<\/h3>\n

Yellow passivation, or yellow chromating, produces a gold-yellow corrosion-resistant layer on the surface of a galvanised piece. Traditional yellow passivation has been replaced by environmentally friendly methods that comply with the RoHS Directive. Thick film passivation produces a yellow-tinted non-iridescent surface, unlike traditional 6-carat chromium passivation, which reflects rainbow shades. However, even with the new type of thick-film passivation, the corrosion resistance is excellent.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our expertise and modern machinery, passivation can be carried out cost-effectively, whatever the size of the batch. Contact us and together we will find out which method is best suited to your pieces.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1958″ img_size=”large” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1717628491247{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1717628059564{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
