Black Ziron

Zinc Iron alloy deposit for extended corrosion
resistance and environmental durability

Black Ziron uses proven alkaline, non-cyanide plating chemistry for even plate distribution over a wide range of current density.  Many jobs which require expensive internal anodes (if plated in cyanide or acid zinc solutions) can be done without dedicated fixtures saving considerable money.

The benefits of iron addition form a corrosion resistance standpoint are maximized while alloying zinc with a controlled amount of iron resulting in a 0.3 - 0.8 weight percent iron deposit.  Black Ziron offers consistent corrosion resistance at least five times better than that of conventional zinc plating in many applications.  Alternatively, Anoplate's Ziron alloy coating is offered with a yellow or olive drab chromate.

Black Ziron utilizes a silver-free chromate post-treatment so there is no tendency for the black to fade to green as frequently encountered with conventional black zinc plating.
