Service Coatings Offers DACROMET® and GEOMET® Coatings

Dacromet® Coating DACROMET®, is the leading inorganic coating specified by the automotive companies worldwide and is a proven coating system in many industries. A water-based, VOC-compliant coating, DACROMET® is comprised mainly of overlapping Zinc and Aluminum flake in an inorganic binder.

Four Way Corrosion Protection

Barrier Protection: Overlapping Zinc and Aluminum flakes provide an excellent barrier between the steel substrate and the corrosive media

Galvanic Action: Zinc corrodes to protect steel

Passivation: Metal oxides slow down the corrosion reaction of Zinc and Steel to provide 3 times greater corrosion protection than pure Zinc

Self-Reparation: Zinc oxides and carbonates migrate to the damaged area of the coating to actively repair the coating and restore barrier protection

Functional Benefits

Thin - DACROMET®: 5-7 microns;
DACROMET® L: 7-9 microns
Hydrogen Embrittlement Free Process - Coating application process does not require acid pickling or involve electroplating
Bimetallic Corrosion Resistant - Aluminum flake eliminates the typical bimetallic cell of most Zinc coatings when mated with Aluminum or Steel
Solvent Resistant - Inorganic nature causes it to be resistant to organic solvents
Heat Resistant - Maintains corrosion resistance even following a heat shock of 3 hrs @ 550°F (288°C)
Conductive - Concentration of metallic flake allows an electrical current to be passed to the substrate

Environmental Benefits

LOW CHROMIUM - DACROMET® LC coating composition complies with the following regulations:
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- DaimlerChrysler CS-9003
- General Motors GMW 3059
- Ford WSS-M99P9999-Al
- EU Directive on End of Life Vehicles
NO TOXIC METALS - Free of nickel, cadmium, lead, barium and mercury
WATER BASED - Free from dangerous solvents
VOC COMPLIANT - Under EPA RACT requirements

Versatile Application

DACROMET® is applied using conventional Dip-Spin, Spray or Dip-Drain-Spin equipment following an alkaline and/or mechanical cleaning cycle. Coating thickness can be varied by altering elements in the application processes. DACROMET® is cured at 610°F PMT (peak metal temperature), which must be maintained for 15 minutes.

Available Colors
