Increases corrosion resistance and improves paint adhesion.
In the metal surface treatment industry, iron phosphate is one of the most common pre-treatment methods before painting. Thanks to its ability to create a stable base layer, increase paint adhesion, and improve corrosion resistance, this technology is widely used in many fields, from mechanical engineering and industrial equipment to furniture and agricultural machinery.
With years of experience in the surface treatment chemical field, AD Chemicals has developed Phosphate 06H – a traditional, reliable iron phosphating solution that is being used by many businesses worldwide to create high-quality finishes on steel and other metals.
What is the iron phosphating process?
Iron phosphating is a chemical treatment process that creates a thin layer of phosphate on the surface of a metal.
This phosphate layer has the following role:
- Increased corrosion resistance.
- Improves paint adhesion.
- Create a smooth surface before applying the paint.
- Enhance the durability and lifespan of the product.
Thanks to its stability and ease of operation, the iron phosphating process is suitable for a wide range of production lines, from dipping systems to spraying systems.
Phosphate 06H – A traditional and effective solution for iron phosphatization.
Phosphate O6H is one of AD Chemicals’ flagship products, successfully applied in many industries such as:
- Agricultural machinery.
- Mechanical equipment.
- Metal interior.
- Industrial equipment.
- Steel structures and metal components.
This product helps create a high-quality iron phosphate coating, providing an ideal surface for subsequent painting processes.
Key characteristics of Phosphate O6H
Phosphate O6H is a mildly acidic phosphatizing chemical with two main functions:
Removes grease from metal surfaces.
This product is capable of effectively cleaning:
- Steel.
- Aluminum.
- Zinc.
It helps remove grease and impurities before the phosphate layer forms.
Create a layer of iron phosphate.
The phosphate layer that forms offers several benefits:
✓ Protects metal surfaces from corrosion.
✓ Significantly increases the adhesion of the paint layer.
✓ Creates a uniform and stable surface.
✓ Enhances the durability of the finish coating.
Phosphate O6H is suitable for:
- Embedding process.
- Spraying procedure.
Optimizing treatment tank efficiency
For maximum efficiency in cleaning and phosphating processes, AD Chemicals recommends combining the following:
Detergent 05H
For embedded systems, it helps improve surface cleanliness before phosphating.
Detergent 05H LF
Developed for spray systems, providing high and consistent degreasing efficiency.
Phosphate O6H
It plays a role in creating a uniform iron phosphate layer, which helps improve the quality of surface treatment.
This combination helps to:
- Increase cleaning efficiency.
- Improve the stability of the treatment tank.
- Formation of a high-quality phosphate layer.
- Improve production efficiency.
Superior corrosion resistance
When using Phosphate O6H in surface treatment processes, the system can achieve the following:
Corrosion resistance can withstand up to 500 hours of salt spray testing , depending on the type of steel and coating system used.
This level of performance adequately meets the requirements of many common industrial applications.
Perfectly complements PreCoat ADL-4P
To further enhance the corrosion resistance and durability of the coating, AD Chemicals recommends adding PreCoat ADL-4P to the final coating bath.
The combination of:
- Phosphate O6H
- PreCoat ADL-4P
It offers many outstanding benefits:
Corrosion resistance up to 1008 hours NSS
According to ASTM B117 (Neutral Salt Spray Test) standards , the system can achieve a salt spray test duration of up to 1,008 hours , significantly longer than the traditional iron phosphate process.
Improve paint adhesion.
The passivation layer from PreCoat ADL-4P creates an ideal base for the topcoat, minimizing peeling and extending product lifespan.
Increase long-term durability
The combined treatment system enhances corrosion protection in harsh working environments and reduces maintenance costs during use.
Advantages of Phosphate O6H
- Traditional, reliable phosphating chemicals.
- Degreasing and phosphate coating are done in the same process.
- Enhances corrosion resistance.
- Improves paint adhesion.
- Suitable for both dipping and spraying lines.
- Easy to operate and stable.
- It can be combined with PreCoat ADL-4P to enhance corrosion protection performance up to 1008 hours NSS.
- Trusted by many businesses and steel processors worldwide.
Applications of Phosphate O6H
Phosphate O6H is widely used in many industries:
- Agricultural equipment.
- Metal interior.
- Household appliances.
- Steel structure.
- Mechanical and industrial equipment.
- Metal components before powder coating or water-based paint .
When should you choose Phosphate O6H?
| Business needs | PHOSPHATE O6H |
|---|---|
| Maintain the traditional iron phosphate process. |  |
| Increase paint adhesion | |
| Improve corrosion resistance | |
