Colored zinc-plated nuts are passivated on the basis of electrogalvanizing to form a rainbow-colored passivation film (containing trivalent chromium or hexavalent chromium) with a film thickness of about 0.5-1μm. Its anti-corrosion performance is significantly better than ordinary electrogalvanizing, and the surface color is bright, with both functionality and decorativeness.

Material: Q235 carbon steel, Q345 alloy steel, substrate hardness HV150-250, passivation film salt spray test 72-120 hours without white rust, using alkali zinc process or high-quality passivator (such as Bigley Zn-228) can reach more than 96 hours.
Features:
Self-repairing ability: After the passivation film is scratched, the hexavalent chromium component can automatically repair the damaged part;
Environmental protection: Trivalent chromium passivation complies with RoHS 2.0, and hexavalent chromium must comply with REACH regulations;
Color identification: Rainbow colors can be used to distinguish different torque levels or batches (such as the power industry).
Functions:
Long-term resistance to corrosion such as salt spray and acid rain, and the life span is 3-5 times that of ordinary electroplating galvanizing;
Enhance visual recognition and facilitate equipment maintenance and management.
Scenario:
Outdoor power equipment (such as tower bolts), marine engineering (ship deck connection), chemical machinery (tank flange).
Installation:
Use a torque wrench to ensure uniform preload to prevent the passivation film from falling off due to excessive extrusion;
Do not directly contact with active metals such as aluminum and magnesium to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Maintenance:
Avoid using acidic cleaners, and it is recommended to wipe with neutral solvents;
Use with caution in high temperature environments (>100℃), the passivation film may decompose and fail.
For scenarios with high environmental requirements, choose trivalent chromium passivation or chromium-free passivation process;
For high humidity environments, it is recommended to use anti-rust oil to extend the service life.
