Today, we’d like to introduce you to GEOMET® 321, a revolutionary zinc flake coating that delivers unparalleled performance and environmental benefits.
Geomet 321: The Pinnacle of Zinc Flake Technology
GEOMET® 321 is a patented water-based zinc flake coating developed by NOF Metal Coatings, of which Aum Dacro Coatings is a proud licensee in India. This innovative coating utilizes passivated zinc and aluminum flakes suspended in an inorganic binder, creating a robust and versatile protective layer for your metal parts.
Purpose of Geomet 321
GEOMET® 321 serves a multitude of purposes, making it an ideal choice for various industries. Here are some of its key functions:
1) Superior Corrosion Protection: GEOMET® 321 boasts exceptional corrosion resistance, significantly exceeding the performance of traditional coatings like electroplating. The zinc flakes in the coating act as sacrificial anodes, drawing corrosion away from the underlying metal substrate. Additionally, the aluminum flakes enhance the barrier properties, further protecting against harsh environments.
2) Excellent Mechanical Damage Resistance: Unlike many coatings that chip or crack under impact, GEOMET® 321 exhibits remarkable resilience. Its unique structure allows it to self-heal minor scratches, maintaining its protective integrity even after mechanical stress. This makes it perfect for components exposed to wear and tear.
3) Enhanced Conductivity: GEOMET® 321 offers good electrical conductivity, making it suitable for applications where electrical grounding is crucial. This eliminates the need for separate conductive coatings, simplifying the process and reducing costs.
4) Bimetallic Compatibility: GEOMET® 321 is bimetallically compatible with aluminum alloys, preventing galvanic corrosion at the interface of dissimilar metals. This is a major advantage for applications where components made of different materials are joined together.
Benefits of GEOMET® 321 for Your Business
Choosing GEOMET® 321 for your metal components offers a multitude of benefits for your business:
1) Extended Product Lifespan: The exceptional corrosion and mechanical damage resistance of GEOMET® 321 translates to a longer lifespan for your products. This reduces maintenance costs, minimizes product replacements, and ultimately enhances customer satisfaction.
2) Improved Performance: GEOMET® 321’s self-healing properties and excellent adhesion ensure consistent performance even under demanding conditions. This translates to reliable operation of your products and minimizes downtime for repairs.
3) Environmentally Friendly: As a water-based and chrome-free coating, GEOMET® 321 aligns perfectly with Aum Dacro Coatings‘ commitment to sustainable practices. It eliminates the environmental hazards associated with traditional chromate-based coatings and contributes to a greener manufacturing process.
4) Reduced Costs: GEOMET® 321’s superior performance translates to long-term cost savings. By extending product life and minimizing maintenance needs, you can significantly reduce your overall operational expenses.
5) Versatility: GEOMET® 321 can be applied to a wide range of metals and is compatible with various post-treatment options. This makes it a highly adaptable solution for diverse applications.
