Abstract
The lamellar technology, also known as flake galvanising, is gaining an increasing share of the zinc coating market. This share mainly covers the area of fasteners, such as nuts, screws, bolts, buckles and springs. The unquestionable advantages of flake coatings include, among others, high corrosion resistance, total absence of chromium (VI) and hydrogenation of the parts, as well as good resistance to chemicals or UV resistance. This paper presents application methods and selected properties of zinc flake coatings.
