Domestic Nanocoating Improves Metal’s Resistance to Corrosion

A knowledge-based company has developed an environment-friendly method to increase the resistance of metallic equipment and parts to corrosion by using a nanocoating.
One of the cost-effective and common methods for surface coating in different industries is the use of conversion coatings which, in addition to increasing the anti-corrosive quality of the metal, increases the paint’s adhesion to the surface.
Schiller Farayand Pars Company is the producer of the new zirconium nanocoating for metal equipment and parts, the news portal of Vice Presidency for Science and Technology reported.
Phosphate or chromate conversion coatings are the most commonly used coatings, but studies have shown that these coatings are harmful to the environment and human health, apart from being economically unviable for the producer. Therefore, researchers were looking for another material to replace phosphate and chromate coatings such as zinc oxide, titanium oxide and vanadium oxide.
