Gardo Hybrid: Revolutionizing Cold Forming
Gardo Hybrid is the first phosphate-free metal-organic cold forming technology for steel, based on an advanced conversion coating. This technology offers both top performance and environmental benefits.
Replacing the traditional zinc-phosphate layer, Gardo Hybrid uses a phosphate-free metal-organic conversion coating that delivers the same superior properties, without the need for heavy metals. It meets strict safety and environmental standards and improves sustainability and operations by requiring less energy during application or production.
Gardo Hybrid easily integrates into existing cold forming operations with no major changes to lubricants, to treatment lines or application processes. The tribological system remains unchanged, with the conversion layer providing a unique surface and lubricant on top.
