Polymet 9700 Water Based Zinc Flake Coating
Premium products Inc., USA has developed water based coating for threaded hardware and
metal parts in Automotive and engineering construction and it offers direct cost saving by
not using solvents compare to other solvent based products.
Polymet™-9700 Coating
The base coats can be applied separately or with Sealer top coat combination according to
various color and friction requirements (PTFE additives are added to adjust the COF). The
coating is single pack system which gives easy to use & suitable for various climates and
reduces costs of rejection by not having risk of jellifying process. The water based coatings
are normally non flammable, Easy water cleanup, Low Odor, Environmental friendly and
low Curing temperature compares to other products around 200 deg c. This coating has a
ability to recoat and better adhesion with sealer top coats. The sealer top coats are water
based thermosetting corslinked system with variety of colors like Silver, Black, Blue, Red &
White etc. which improves the SST life, UV resistance, resistance to automotive fluids and
improves or stabilize the Co-efficient of friction values for threaded parts during assembly.
There are no hazardous and declarable substances in Polymet coating, thus it is friendlier
with environment. The Polymet coatings are water based therefore I is low HAP (hazardous
Air Pollution), Low VOC (Volatile Organic Content). The coating meets ELV, WEE and
ROHS norm guidelines for not using hazardous and declarable substances like:
-Lead
-Mercury
-Cadmium
-Hexavalent chromium
-Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
-Polybrominated diphenly ether (PBDE)
Polymet™-9700 products can be applied with non Electrolytically applied Dip Spin coating
techniques for mass produced hardware parts and by spray application with or without
electrostatic for larger metal parts.

Phosphate (as for example, zinc phosphate or iron phosphate) is often used as a surface
preparation for coatings; it is inexpensive and relatively foolproof. The primary
disadvantage of phosphate coatings is that they are non-conductive. Nearly all high
performance protective coatings rely on sacrificial action to achieve a high level of
protection; the traditional view is that having a non-conductive intermediate coating
interferes with the efficacy of the coating; this view has disappeared somewhat over the past
decade or so.
Shot Blasting: For high strength steels (10.9 grade and above or hardness >32 HRC), Shot
blasting is preferred, since Phosphate treatment may lead to Hydrogen Embrittlement, so it
is not recommended for spring steel and high strength steel.
Dip spin coating process whereby product is placed in a mesh basket, submerged in
Polymet coating solution and spun to remove the excess coating. The temperature and
viscosity of the coating, immersion time, spin direction and velocities and the cure method
are among the variables that allow users to customize a process recipe and achieve precise,
highly repeatable results.
Spray coating process: The Polymet coatings can be applied by Spray application
techniques which are known in finishing industry. To have more efficiency and economical
coating results HVLP and other technological improved systems are more useful compare to
older equipments and application techniques.
Polymerisation Cycle: The coated parts need to cure at around 200 deg c for
polymerisation and cross linking of added polymers before the coating is functional. The
SST results and other chemical related properties vary if the baking cycle is not being
performed properly.
