Surface Preparation
 



Corrosion Classes help determine the requirements for pre-treatment. Depends on indoor with relative humidity under 60%, non heated well ventilated room, fluctuating temperature and humidity, Outdoors in inland climates, far from the sea and industry, in densely populated areas or near industrial area, constant with high humidity near industrial manufacturing or utilizing chemicals are classified as the label of corrosion class

Assign Your products to the correct corrosion Class:

Corrosion classes help determine the requirement for pre-treatment

Corrosion Class 0 :
indoors with relative humidity under 60% Very low corrosion risk (aggressively)
Corrosion Class 1 :
indoors with non-heated, well ventilated room. low corrosion risk

Corrosion Class 2 :
indoors with fluctuating temperature and humidity, outdoors in inland climates, far from the sea and industry Medium corrosion risk

Please find it on the following chart.
Cleaning/degreasing,Blast cleaning,Iron Phosphate,zinc phosphate and Chromate Treatment are recommended depend on the corrosion class. Please find it on the following chart.
Cleaning/degreasing,Blast cleaning,Iron Phosphate,zinc phosphate and Chromate Treatment are recommended depends on the corrosion class.


Corrosion Class 3 : Intensely populated areas or near industrial areas. in the vicinity of open water and near the coast. High corrosion risk

Corrosion Class 4 :
constant, high humidity
near industry manufacturing or utilizing chemicals. Very high corrosion risk
