Gardolene

Our Gardolene activation agents foster the formation of fine crystalline layers during pretreatment, particularly prior to phosphating, which ensures the creation of uniform and durable coatings in significantly less time. This streamlined process boosts efficiency and reduces operational costs, enabling customers to meet market demands swiftly. 

Following the activation process, our cutting-edge Gardolene passivating agents—applied either on a zinc phosphate layer or directly on the substrate—further improve corrosion resistance and establish an exceptional adhesive base for subsequent applications, such as painting. The corrosion protection performance of galvanized material depends on the passivation film thickness, the reactivity of the galvanized alloy, and the application conditions in the galvanizing line. In recent years, we have introduced chrome-free formulations to the market, while still offering the more traditional passivation technologies based on trivalent chrome. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our range of chrome-free solutions based on zirconium or titanium fluoride, silane, and polymers, providing you with effective alternatives that align with modern regulatory requirements and environmental standards. 

By choosing our Gardolene technologies, you gain a competitive edge in the market, ensuring that your products not only meet but exceed customer expectations.
