01 / Product brief
Fine Crystal Paint Anchor Without Heating Costs
Room-temperature zinc phosphating producing a low coating weight of 2–5 g/m² with fine, dense crystal structure — optimised for paint adhesion rather than heavy corrosion protection. Fine crystal provides maximum paint anchor surface area while controlling total coating thickness on tight-tolerance parts.
Fine crystal structure at 2–5 g/m² coating weight provides the ideal paint bonding surface without the coating weight variation of heavier zinc systems. Ambient process reduces energy cost while maintaining OEM paint adhesion performance.
