Conversion Coating

Conversion coatings provide essential benefits such as corrosion protection, improved paint adhesion, electrical insulation, and reduced surface friction and abrasion. As a leading provider of surface treatment technologies, we offer a wide range of technologies, from traditional phosphating processes to advanced multi-metal thin-film solutions.

We deliver high-performance solutions, technologies, and processes designed to create the ideal conversion coating for your needs: Depending on your substrate and requirements, you can choose from iron, zinc, or manganese phosphating, electrolytic phosphating, or chromate, oxalate, or anodizing treatments. Additionally, we offer eco-conscious alternatives, such as titanium/zirconium and silane-based technologies.

Our globally recognized processes are available in chrome- and nickel-free versions, suitable for various substrates including iron, steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum.
