Text Box: Zinc is specified where a good cost effective corrosion resistant finish is required. It offers sacrificial protection and is effective even if a scratch penetrates the coating. The passivates used are self healing. It is used in a large number of industries, many specifying the national standard BS1706:1990 or for fasteners BS7371:1993. The degree of protection offered by zinc depends upon the thickness specified, from 5 microns for a good commercial finish to 25 microns where a high degree of protection is required. The greater thicknesses are tending to be replaced by alloy plating. There are a number of passivates and seals that can be specified to enhance the corrosion resistance, which can be 240 hours to ‘white’ rust and 500 hours with yellow and seal. Trenton Electroplating has several dedicated automatic lines with either alkaline or acid solutions depending on the material to be processed. Cyanide is not used in any of the processes. A full range of passivates is also available i.e. Clear, Yellow, Olive, Black and Yellow and Seal (Leach back).
