Why Surface Protection Matters

Unprotected metal is highly vulnerable to:

• Rust & corrosion that weakens the structure.
• Poor paint adhesion leading to early flaking or peeling.
• Increased energy consumption as machinery operates less efficiently.
• Shorter operational lifespan, driving up replacement costs.
  

By applying cutting-edge surface treatments, businesses can safeguard their machinery, ensuring durability while saving significantly in the long run.

Step-by-Step Process of Metal Surface Protection

1. Surface Preparation: Pre-treatment

Painting requires more than just a topcoat. A Pre-treatment the metal cleaning, 

• Good for cleaning rust-proof oil and dust.
• Can be used for both dipping and spray processes
• Can be used with a variety of materials.
• Can separate oil from chemicals easily, makes it easy to clean and expand its lifetime.
• Can be used at low temperatures but still has a high efficiency in cleaning and low foaming.
• Have a temporary rust prevention on metal surface by creating a thin film layer that is effective in preventing rust.

2. Conversion coating 

Zinc Phosphate Treatment

Zinc phosphate coating is a proven rust-prevention coating offering:

• Cathodic corrosion protection that shields exposed areas.
• A uniform crystalline layer for stronger bonding.
• A stable base for subsequent coatings or paint.

Nano Coating Technology

Our nano coating solutions deliver next-generation protection:

• Environmentally friendly alternative to traditional coatings.
• Equal rust-prevention strength with lower environmental impact.
• Creates a thin, invisible barrier against water, oxygen, and pollutants.
  
  

3. Metal Coating Finishing, such as a Painting Solid Lubrication coating (Pallube)

Once treated, surfaces can be finished with specialized metal coatings designed to:

• Resist abrasion, chemicals, and environmental stress.
• Reduce friction under dry condition
• Corrosion resistance
• Wear resistance
• Heat resistance
• Electrical conductivity or insulation
  
  

4. Rigorous Testing: Salt Spray Test

To guarantee performance, coatings are validated through industry-standard salt spray tests:

• ASTM B117
• JIS Z2371
• TSH 1552G
• ISO 9227
• ASTM G85 Annex 1–5

This testing simulates harsh environments, confirming that the treated surface can withstand real-world conditions.
