Dipsol’s Z-3000 acid zinc plating system can be operated as a mixed-potassium bath or as an all-ammonium process to achieve high plating efficiency and corrosion resistance. According to the company, this results in lower production costs in either rack or barrel applications over metal stampings, castings, and fasteners.
With only two components and a wide operating temperature range, the Z-3000 process is said to be simple to operate and maintain. The high-concentration-brightener system is completely water-soluble and free-rinsing for increased receptivity of passivates. Its low organic content provides increased adhesion and ductility in the plated deposit, while the increased thickness distribution reduces metal consumption, the company says. Use with Dipsol’s TC-21 clear blue or ZTB-447ASA black trivalent passivate systems is designed to produce a consistent, high-quality appearance and corrosion resistance.
