Galvanizing Chemicals: Essential for Optimized Processes and Superior Coating Quality

Galvanizing is a proven method for significantly extending the lifespan of metals, but achieving the highest-quality and most efficient coating goes far beyond just the zinc bath. It begins with meticulous preparation during the pretreatment phase and is further enhanced by careful adjustments in the post-treatment process. A flawless surface is essential before the steel is immersed in the galvanizing bath to ensure optimal coating results.

Today, both pretreatment and post-treatment solutions have evolved well beyond traditional methods. With innovations ranging from powerful degreasers to eco-friendly fumeblocks, modern chemical solutions are revolutionizing the entire galvanizing process. These cutting-edge advancements optimize each step, ensuring the steel is thoroughly cleaned and expertly prepared. The result is a smoother, more durable coating that meets the highest standards of quality, performance, and efficiency, delivering superior results every time.

Innovative Galvanizing Chemical Solutions

Dragon Flux: The Heart of Pretreatment

Dragon Flux is a high-performance double salt chemical designed to prevent steel from oxidizing during the transition from pretreatment to galvanization. Composed of 56% ZnCl2 and 44% NH4Cl, this powerful flux bath serves as the final cleaning and preparation step before immersion in the zinc kettle. A high-quality flux ensures the steel is thoroughly cleaned, paving the way for a smooth and consistent zinc coating. By reducing zinc consumption and minimizing the formation of dross and ash, Dragon Flux helps deliver superior coatings with optimal efficiency.

Anqa Degreaser: Unmatched Cleaning for Flawless Results
Achieving a pristine surface is crucial for successful galvanizing, and Anqa Degrea ser delivers exceptional cleaning power. This advanced formulation easily cuts through grease, oils, and contaminants, leaving a perfectly clean metal surface ready for treatment. Thanks to its meticulously engineered formula, Anqa Degreaser generates less sludge than other brands, significantly reducing the need for bath cleaning and optimizing the overall process.

Lycan Fumeblock: Protector of Workers and the Building
Safety and building protection are paramount in galvanizing processes. Lycan Fumeblock offers an innovative solution by significantly reducing harmful fumes during the pickling process. Its advanced chemistry not only helps maintain a safer and healthier workspace but also protects buildings, cranes, and equipment from the corrosive effects of hydrochloric acid (HCl) fumes. By incorporating just 2% Lycan Fumeblock into the acid tank, you can create a safer, more comfortable environment for workers, while safeguarding infrastructure from the long-term damage caused by acid vapors. This solution enhances both workplace safety and operational efficiency.

Monster Inhibitor: Safeguarding Your Steel During Pickling
Monster Inhibitor is a crucial chemical for acid tanks, working alongside products like Lycan Fumeblock to optimize the pickling process. At just a 1% concentration, it prevents unwanted reactions between the acid and the base steel, allowing the acid to focus on effectively removing rust. The inhibitor is absorbed onto the steel surface, forming a protective layer that significantly reduces acid’s corrosive impact on the metal. This not only minimizes over-pickling but also reduces acid consumption, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective process.

SmartNi: The Most Efficient Way to Reduce Zinc Consumption
SmartNi plays a vital role in controlling the coating thickness during galvanization. It is the only element that effectively prevents excessive zinc-iron alloy formation, which can lead to thick coatings, peeling, and matte gray finishes. By reducing zinc consumption and promoting the formation of a thinner, more uniform coating, SmartNi ensures the production of high-quality galvanized steel with greater efficiency.

Bismuth: A Safer Solution to Enhance Zinc Fluidity
Bismuth is an environmentally friendly and health-conscious alternative to lead, offering the same high performance without the associated risks. This special element improves zinc fluidity by reducing surface tension, ensuring more uniform flow and coverage. Bismuth helps prevent issues such as thin zinc layers in holes and clogged teeth, as well as reducing the risk of leakage in the zinc coating. By incorporating Bismuth, galvanizers can achieve a smoother, more consistent coating while maintaining a safer, more sustainable operation.

Unicorn Pass: The Shield Against White Rust
Post-galvanizing protection is essential, and Unicorn Pass offers a formidable defense against white rust. This advanced formulation creates a protective barrier that enhances corrosion resistance and maintains the aesthetic appeal of galvanized surfaces.

Amazinc Spray: Precision Application for Spot Repairs
Amazinc Spray is the ideal solution for spot repairs and touch-ups, offering precision in application and a uniform protective layer. Its easy-to-use spray mechanism ensures that even the most complex surfaces and hard-to-reach areas receive consistent, high-quality coverage, making it an indispensable tool for maintenance and minor repairs in galvanizing operations.

Amazinc Paste: Targeted Retouching for Complex Surfaces
For areas requiring more concentrated protection, Amazinc Paste provides unmatched performance. Its thick, adhesive consistency ensures that complex, high-stress metal parts receive full coverage and long-lasting protection. Ideal for intricate components or areas exposed to harsh environments, Amazinc Paste ensures superior durability and protection even in the most demanding applications.

These advanced chemicals streamline the galvanizing process, improving efficiency and significantly enhancing the quality of the final product. From superior cleaning to advanced corrosion protection, these solutions address every stage of galvanization, resulting in a cleaner, stronger, and more durable coating. Many of these products are designed with sustainability and safety in mind. Solutions like Lycan Fumeblock reduce harmful emissions, while SmartNi supports efficient resource utilization by optimizing zinc consumption. These innovations contribute to a safer and more sustainable galvanizing process, ultimately reducing the environmental impact of industrial operations.
