Zinc Flake Fasteners - Fabory


Zinc flake fasteners

Zinc flake coating is a non electrolytically applied coating, produced by applying a zinc flake dispersion, possibly with the addition of aluminum flakes, to the surface of a fastener. Zinc flake coated fasteners can achieve high corrosion protection with a thinner coating thickness than that of electroplated zinc or hot dip galvanised (HDG).
