ESI Automotive has introduced a new standard to its already successful Quality Performance Systems program: ZinKlad for fittings.
ESI Automotive will be working closely with global business MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions to offer this new standard.
The new standards - existing of ZinKlad 240 F, ZinKlad 250 F and ZinKlad 1000 F will be added to the already established ZinKlad programs. The fittings range offers a hexavalent chromium-free coating for barrel (250 F and 1000 F) and rack (240 F) processing, specifically designed for use on hydraulic and fluid fittings. These coatings deliver corrosion resistance which extends component life, particularly in harsh conditions.
Lammert de Boer, Global Director for ZinKlad, DecoKlad and XMAPP said: “The new range of ZinKlad for fittings is an excellent addition to the ZinKlad range, and it improves the technical dialogue between fittings manufacturers, electroplating suppliers and the OEMs.”
ZinKlad fittings will complete the current gap between the original manufacturer and the plating supplier, the ZinKlad applicator. By defining the quality standards agreed between the parties throughout the supply chain, it will be optimized by quality audits and inspections. These will be carried out at the approved ZinKlad applicator for fittings on a defined frequent base.
