Berlin, 15 February, 2024 – Atotech, a leading surface finishing brand within the Materials Solutions Division of MKS Instruments, will exhibit at this year’s MachAuto Expo held in Ludhiana, India from February 23 to 26, 2024. MachAuto Expo is a renowned Machine Tools and Automation Technology Exhibition in India, that prides itself as one of the prime contributors to the development of the machine tools and automation technology industry. This year’s show will focus on industry advancements related to the automotive engineering sector, mechanical components, machine automation, and machine tools.
Our surface finishing solutions enhance durability, improve appearance and functionality, and meet the demanding corrosion and wear requirements of OEMs and Tiers. We offer a variety of leading processes and manufacturing technologies for advanced surface modification, electroless and electrolytic plating as well as state-of-the-art surface finishing solutions.
We will be showcasing our latest innovations at the show including:
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 – Chrome-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® – A family of Cr(VI)-free decorative chromium processes that expand the choice of colors and designs.
Corrosion protection solutions
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 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.
