I. Surface Pretreatment Process

Tank No.1 – Degreasing Tank

Degreasing solution is a blend of hydroxide and silicates and various


surfactants. METRITE-SAG-HHD used is highly alkaline compound, to
degrease the metal surface, remove oils, carboceous deposits. A 10%
bath w/v is prepared and mixed thoroughly. The articles are dipped for 20-
30 minutes. Alkalinity of the bath is regularly checked. Drop in alkalinity is
corrected by adding fresh degreasing so lution. Higher concentration and
longer immersion time may be required if contaminants to be removed are
heavy.

Tank No.2 – Water Rinse Tank

The parts are rinsed to remove loosened oil and also to remove adhering
alkali from the surface. The water is kept overflowing and the PH is
maintained around 7.

Tank No.3 – Derusting Tank

Derusting solution is a phosphoric acid based derusting compound used to


derust metal surface and removal of scale METRITE-AP-H used at 33% to
50% concentration v/v in cold water.

Phosphoric acid produces a smooth, uniform phosphate coating and


prepares a surface for uniform, microcrystalline zinc phosphate coating. A
25% solution is prepared and acidity is checked.

The drop in acidity is made up by adding fresh chemicals. The parts are
dipped in derusting bath for 8-10 minutes depending on extent of rust.

Tank No.4 – Rinsing Tank

The parts are rinsed to remove the loose rust and acidic particles from the
surface. The water is kept overflowing and PH is maintained around 7.

Tank No.5 – Phosphating Tank

Phosphating compound is a zinc phosphate solution and it forms uniform


microcrystalline zinc phosphate coating on clean surface. METRITE ZLP-
COLD-LP used at 6% concentration produces light to medium weight
phosphate coating on MS components.

The parts are dipped for 15-20 minutes in the bath. The coating weight is
around 600-700 mg/ft2.

Tank No.6 – Water Rinse Tank

The parts are rinsed in water. The water rinsed should be overflowing to
prevent excess contamination.

Tank No.7 – Passivation Tank

Passivation compound is a rinse based on chromic acid. It enhances


corrosion resistance of the zinc phosphate coating. A 0.05% solution is
prepared and articles are dipped for 4 seconds to 30 seconds. Rinse is
changed frequently at least once in 15 days. The parts are dried
immediately after the above process and painted as early as possible
preferably within 24 hours.

II. Painting Process

Facilities exist for liquid painting and powder coating. The powders used
are of Epoxy Polyester Thermosetting type, used as single coat system.

The powder is electrostatically char
powder particles and grounded components ensures that, the powder
wraps itself evenly around the components.

Powder coated components/parts are then baked in Oven at 200°C for 10


minutes duration.

Note:- The Finishing shade shall be grey having shade no. RAL7035.
