What Is a Zinc-Flake Coating? Zinc-flake coatings provide high-performance corrosion protection for metal components by combining layers of microscopic zinc and aluminum flakes with a protective binder system. Unlike traditional zinc plating, zinc-flake coatings are typically applied as a dip-spin or spray process, allowing them to provide excellent coverage—even on complex shapes and threaded components. […]

Key Challenges A manufacturing program in Dundee required a corrosion-resistant coating solution for stamped components. Traditional hot dip galvanizing presented concerns related to process heat, potential part distortion, manufacturing waste, and workplace environmental conditions. SolutionsMMC evaluated and implemented a Zink Flake coating solution as an alternative to conventional hot dip galvanizing. The objective was to
