Today’s manufacturers rely on passivation formulations to ensure the durability of metal pieces in a range of industries. While the additional step of passivation can offer enhanced corrosion protection for metal pieces, formulators must also deliver flexibility and performance for manufacturers to ensure this improved performance. Syensqo’s additives for metal passivation assist formulators in developing solutions that allow for manufacturer flexibility and efficiency in passivation, either as stand-alone corrosion protection or complementing a conversion treatment.
Benefits of Metal Passivation
Passivation may be an elective step in metal treatment, but through this process, manufacturers can boost corrosion resistance, and potentially paint adhesion, in frequently used materials like aluminum and zinc-coated steel or galvanized steel. Whether manufacturers utilize passivation for long-term performance improvements or for temporary corrosion resistance for metal pieces that are waiting to be painted, formulators should offer versatile passivation solutions. With the right additives for passivation, formulators assist manufacturers in improving performance attributes without requiring modification of existing treatment processes. For streamlined and effective passivation for aluminum and galvanized steel with or without pure zinc, formulators can use Syensqo’s outstanding additives for passivation.
Flexibility in Passivation Treatments
With evolving manufacturing trends focusing on streamlined processing and efficiency, formulators must develop solutions that enhance manufacturer flexibility, especially for optional processes like passivation. Many manufacturers treat various metal pieces that all have unique performance requirements. Some pieces may have high requirements for corrosion resistance or paint adhesion, while others treated on the same line may not need to exhibit such high performance. Because a single line commonly treats pieces made of various metals or alloys, passivation treatments must be able to respond to varied requirements. Syensqo’s additives for metal passivation are flexible in how they can be formulated. They can be used directly in the last rinse of conversion or used to boost existing passivation processes, while being compatible with various types of metals and alloys.
Powerful Additives for Metal Passivation
Passivation generally involves using chemicals at much lower dosages than during the conversion stage. For maximized efficiency, formulators are turning to additives for passivation that are powerful at low dosages and multifunctional for use in a range of products. By using ingredients that are effective in small amounts, formulators can improve cost in use and eliminate unnecessary chemicals while enhancing corrosion resistance and paint adhesion benefits in a variety of metal products. Syensqo’s AddibondTM products are extraordinarily powerful at low dosages, allowing formulators to reach extra performance. Producers can provide versatile passivation solutions and efficiently meet the unique needs of varying industries with Syensqo’s additives for passivation.
