PrimeCoat® Z908 VH is designed to enhance corrosion resistance for galvanized steel and zinc-based alloys. The product offers outstanding benefits such as:

  • Corrosion resistance exceeds industry standards.
  • High performance according to ASTM B117 NSS salt spray test.
  • Superior resistance to condensation.
  • Extends product lifespan in harsh environments.

2. Chromium-Free Technology

The product helps businesses meet stringent environmental and workplace safety regulations.

3. Perfect Surface Appearance

The PrimeCoat® Z908 VH treatment creates a uniform, bright, fingerprint-resistant surface that does not discolor metal. Even at high coverage levels, the product ensures:

  • High aesthetic appeal
  • Anti-fingerprint
  • Good uniformity
  • Stable surface quality

4. Improving Metalworking Efficiency

One of the outstanding advantages of PrimeCoat® Z908 VH is its ability to support metal forming processes. The product helps to:

  • Reduce friction between metal surfaces.
  • Reduce galling during deep crushing.

1. Non-Chrome Passivation Solution

Non-Chrome Passivation (Chrome-free Passivation) is a technology that creates a chemical conversion layer on metal surfaces without using any chromium compounds . This protective layer increases corrosion resistance, reduces white rust, and improves surface quality before machining or painting . The product contains absolutely no hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) or any other form of chromium, fully complying with international environmental standards such as RoHS and REACH.

2. Passivation of Chrome III (Cr3+)

 PrimeCoat® Z80x Series is a line of chemicals developed using Phosphate/Silane technology to provide high corrosion protection while meeting the trend of environmentally friendly production. PrimeCoat® Z80x is designed to replace passivation systems using Chromium VI (Cr⁶⁺), helping businesses transition to chrome-free technology while maintaining effective surface protection and corrosion resistance in a wide range of industrial applications. The product meets RoHS and REACH standards , supporting businesses in reducing the use of hazardous chemicals and aligning with sustainable production practices.

3. Solvent-Replacing Cleaning Agents

MM31® was developed to optimize the entire surface treatment process before and after mechanical machining. After treatment with MM31®, the metal surface is not only completely clean but also forms a conversion coating that offers many benefits such as: increased paint adhesion, resulting in better paint bonding to the metal substrate; reduced peeling during use; improved corrosion resistance, providing better protection against moisture and harsh environments; and reduced rust.
