Zinc Iron plating is a soft, ductile, decorative, corrosion-resistant finish. Unlike most other commonly plated metals, zinc Iron protects the substrate by sacrificing itself and thus corrodes before the base metal. For corrosion protection, Trivalent chromates are applied over the zinc. Trivalent Chromates are chemical conversion coatings that add protection and color. The substrate metal participates in the coating reaction and becomes a component of the coating. The collaboration has a profound effect on the properties of the coating. Trivalent Chromate films are typically very thin, on the order of .0000001″ and contribute no measurable thickness to the overall coating.

Benefits of Zinc Iron Trivalent
- Highly protective, bright, burn-free deposits can be applied, even at very high current densities.
- Deposits are extremely low stressed and blister free.
- Excellent covering power and uniformity of plate distribution.
- Superior salt spray number well over conventional ±«ÏÊĤÊÓƵ.
- 3 different color choices. Bright (clear), Black, Yellow
