Zintek®ONE HP
Superior protection with only ONE coat
With Zintek®ONE HP, Atotech introduced a new inorganic silver zinc flake base coat that provides reliable corrosion protection with just one coating layer. This makes Zintek®ONE HP a cost-effective alternative to standard zinc flake applications, hot-dip galvanizing and electroplating finishes.
MKS’ Atotech new one-coat system can achieve 720 h without base metal corrosion in NSST with only a single application layer. This one-coat system helps reduce operating costs and processing time. Furthermore Zintek® ONE HP helps increase coating line capacity, as the second coating typically required to achieve 720 h NSST is no longer required.
The base coat is applied in a single dip-spin coating that achieves a layer thickness of 6 – 8 μm and is comparable to the thickness of common two-layer zinc flake coatings. Offering a uniform surface even after mechanical stress, Zintek®ONE HP is well-suited for fasteners and parts used in construction, automotive and heavy-industry applications. The coating does not produce hydrogen embrittlement during application.
Zintek®ONE HP is also free of harmful heavy metals such as Cr(VI), cadmium, cobalt, lead or nickel and fullfills sustainability requirements. For even better performance Zintek®ONE HP is also combinable with our Zintek®Top, Techseal® and Techdip® top coats. Atotech offers here a comprehensive range of processes for different application areas.
What inspires us
Why we developed Zintek®ONE HP
Your challenge
Several markets requiring up to 720 hours in neutral salt spray test (NSST) are calling for more simplified production processes.
At the same time, processes should be as versatile as possible, reduce operating costs and processing time.
Our solution
Zintek®ONE HP offers superior protection with only ONE coat. This makes our base coat extremely cost-efficient and helps to reduce processing time.
The inorganic base coat is suitable for fasteners and parts used in construction, automotive and heavy industry applications.
