Metal Flake Coatings

Metal flake coatings are a special class of protective films that incorporate zinc and aluminum flakes into engineered resin systems to provide galvanic protection for steel without the risk of hydrogen embrittlement occurring. These coatings provide extremely high levels of corrosion protection over both steel and aluminum substrates. Chem Processing offers unique options for even more robust corrosion protection by combining metal flake coatings with its anodizing and plating capabilities. This article gives a good synopsis of the advantages of these coatings.

Delta MKS® Coatings Overview:

The most advanced and technologically superior class of metal flake coatings are the Delta MKS® line from Doerken. The degree of corrosion resistance can be customized and multiple colors are available. Delta MKS® coatings are free of heavy metals such as chromium, cadmium or lead, offering a robust RoHS compliant alternative to less advanced coatings. More information on Delta coatings can be found at Doerken's web site.

Advantages of Delta MKS Coatings:

• Thin and uniform coating thickness
• High corrosion and cathodic protection
• Resistant to chemical attacks
• Good temperature resistance
• No hydrogen embrittlement
• Lower processing temperature
• Consistent torque and tension performance
• Available in eight standard colors
