Berlin, February 5, 2024 – Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, will participate in the Indian Surface Finishing Show 2024, a three-day conference and exhibition. The event is organized by the Metal Finishers’ Association of India (MFAI) and will be held on February 14 to 16, 2024, at the India Exposition Mart, Greater Noida, India.
ISF provides a dynamic platform for all the stakeholders in the surface finishing industry to meet, network, interact, and create new opportunities. The conference will also bring together researchers and academicians from reputed institutions, national laboratories, and prestigious academic organizations who will unite to showcase their ground-breaking research in various fields of surface finishing.
At this event, we will be showcasing our surface finishing solutions that enhance durability and improve appearance and functionality regarding corrosion protection and wear resistance. Decorative coatings and paint support technologies complete our product portfolio. All our solutions are tailored to meet the demanding industry requirements.
Product highlights at the show will include:
Sustainable paint support technologies
Interlox® – Zirconium-based, phosphate-free paint pretreatment process that provides superior paint adhesion and corrosion resistance, long solution life, and reduced waste treatment for a wide variety of metal substrates.
Master Remover® – Sustainable paint removal solutions for various paints from a multitude of metal substrates.
Cr(VI)-free and non-PFAS hard chrome plating solutions:
BluCr® – The safer and more sustainable alternative to hexavalent hard-chrome plating with low friction and good wear-resistance properties.
Fumalock® – The first fluorine-free, non-PFOS, non-PFAS fume suppressant. Outperforms existing processes in NESHAP stack tests (2 to 4 times lower in Cr6+ emissions). EPA, CEPA, and REACH-compliant.
Cr(VI)-free and non-PFAS decorative chrome plating solutions:
Wetting agent 100 – Fluorine-free, non-PFOS, non-PFAS fume suppressant for decorative hexavalent chromium plating processes.
Covertron® 600 – Cr-free pretreatment for plastic metallization suitable for the ABS, ABS/PC, and 2K/3K/ selective materials that are currently produced with Cr(VI)-based processes.
TriChrome® family – Cr(VI)-free decorative chromium processes that expand the choice of colors and designs.
Highly efficient corrosion resistant electrolytic plating solutions:
Zinni® AL 450 – Alkaline zinc nickel plating process with a stable nickel incorporation of 12–15%.
Zinni® 220 – Acid zinc nickel process that combines high plating efficiency with superior thickness and alloy distribution across a wide current density range.
Highly economic zinc flake basecoats:
Zintek® ONE HP – One layer zinc flake system providing superior corrosion protection.
Zintek® 200 SL F – A cost-efficient basecoat with no topcoat needed, for defined coefficient of friction (CoF) and high corrosion resistance.
Zintek® 200 – The allrounder basecoat that provides outstanding cathodic corrosion protection and is approved for multiple automotive standards.
Non-PFAS zinc flake technologies:
Zintek® 300 HP – Non-PFAS zinc flake basecoat, providing an excellent delay of white corrosion formation.
Zintek® Top LV – Thin layer topcoat that prevents heat-loosening and is approved for multiple automotive standards.
Zintek® Top XT – Inorganic, clear topcoat that, when applied over Zintek ONE HP basecoat, provides 1,000 hours NSST. It can also be applied over electroplated and passivated layers.
Be sure to stop by at our booth no. A1 to explore our exclusive product range and meet with our expert technical team. We look forward to meeting you and discussing our innovative solutions in person.
