About This Webinar

Manufacturers and suppliers need to readily adapt to new substrates and finishes to meet evolving OEM needs. This presentation will cover various zinc alloy processes available, keying in heavily on zinc-nickel and the properties that make it appealing to manufacturers—specifically within the fastener, casting, automotive and heavy equipment industries. Columbia Chemical will examine trends and technologies relative to the electric vehicle market and explore the growing automotive interest in tin zinc. Applicators, OEMs, Tier suppliers and engineers alike will benefit from this presentation as they provide information focused on coating corrosion resistance and durability and present an overview of trivalent passivate finish options relative to color, corrosion protection and considerations related to bake requirements and torque tension.
