Chemetall Oakite has introduced three new surface treatment chemistries for the finishing industry: OXSILAN® 9810, a non-hazardous prepaint treatment for all-ferrous and most multi-metal surfaces; Chem Cote 3010, a pre-paint treatment for iron and steel; and Pyrene US 1002, an alkaline detergent that is specially formulated to remove metalworking fluids from ferrous substrates.

Chemetall Oakite has introduced three new surface treatment chemistries for the finishing industry.

OXSILAN® 9810, a non-hazardous prepaint treatment for all-ferrous and most multi-metal surfaces, replaces zinc phosphate for prepaint treatment and is designed to provide a significant cost savings over zinc phosphates. It produces little or no sludge, so complicated waste treatment is not required. Eliminating the final seal and grain refining activator stages increases the savings. Costs are further reduced by the working temperatures of OXSILAN® 9810, which performs optimally at ambient temperatures.

Chem Cote 3010, a pre-paint treatment for iron and steel, is designed to leave a superior iron phosphate coated surface to which paint adheres easily. The resulting surface is also highly resistant to corrosion, the company reports. Since the product works at lower spray temperatures, the use of a burner is reduced or even eliminated to provide energy savings.

Pyrene US 1002 is an alkaline detergent that is specially formulated to remove metalworking fluids from ferrous substrates. The low-foaming product features a strong penetrating action that attacks fluids such as mill oils and drawing compounds for a thorough clean. It then disperses the soils and rinses off completely and easily. Depending on the operating parameters, the product can be used on aluminum and zinc-coated substrates with some chemical attack. It was developed primarily for use on steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. The product is biodegradable, works at low temperatures for energy savings, and has a long solution life for material savings.
