Zinc Flake Coating

Zinc flake coating for large-format industrial components

High-performance corrosion protection for individual items, small series and complex component geometries

New at HÜNI+CO!

Zinc flake coating is a high-performance, inorganic corrosion protection system based on zinc and aluminum flakes. It offers a very high level of protection against atmospheric corrosion – even under demanding environmental conditions – and is used wherever conventional galvanic coatings reach their limits.

The basecoats consist of zinc and aluminum flakes in an inorganic, water-based binder. They protect metal parts from corrosion through a sacrificial protection and barrier effect. An additional topcoat can expand the functional range of the coating – for example, through controlled friction, chemical resistance, temperature resistance, or color.

Corrosion protection is provided by a lamellar layer system that evenly coats the surface and achieves a high level of protection even with low layer thicknesses.

HÜNI+CO uses high-performance GEOMET® and EXOMET™ zinc flake coatings specifically for large, complex components as well as for individual parts and small series.
