ZinKlad 1000B is a unique, hexavalent chromium-free coating system that will meet today’s industry demands for a decorative black finish with outstanding corrosion protection. It combines a metallic zinc nickel deposit of 8 microns minimum thickness, with a high build iridescent passivate and clear topcoat. The unique properties of ZinKlad 1000B consistently meet minimum performance demands for corrosion and torque modification.

ZinKlad 1000B deposits are applied exclusively using our Enviralloy NI electroplating processes. This unique chemistry is formulated to provide uniform, bright and adherent zinc-nickel deposits that is uniform bright and ductile with outstanding plate distribution characteristics.

ZinKlad 1000B systems are completed with the application of a high build trivalent black passivate followed by a specialist topcoat layer. MacDermid TriPass ELV range of high build trivalent passivate films impart a corrosion resistance conversion coating, offering protection against the formation of white rust.

MacDermid JS and Torque’n’Tension branded topcoats provide increased corrosion resistance, they modify surface tribology to ensure uniform torque and clamping characteristics.

Minimum corrosion performance as plated for 8 micron coating, measured against salt spray ASTM B117:
