MECHANICAL ZINC PLATING MACUGUARD LM
Growermetal is pleased to announce that it is approved applicator of MacDermid’s ® new mechanical plating process MacuGuard LM for steel fasteners.
MacuGuard LM guarantees high-performance and a range of great advantages:
- corrosion resistance over 1.000 hours in accelerated salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227;
- non-embrittlement of high-resistance, high hardness pieces due to the presence of hydrogen;
- good electrical conductivity;
- restriction of contact corrosion between steel fasteners and light alloy (aluminium) parts;
- ability to modify the friction coefficient of part surfaces;
- no risk of excessive deposits in recessed areas, holes, threads etc;
- no risk of pieces sticking;
- end of life vehicle directive compliance (ELVD);
- environmentally friendly process.
There are two different kinds of MacuGuard LM coating:
- MacuGuard LM 90 + Cr +6 free passivation + post-dip
- MacuGuard LM Duplex + Cr +6 free passivation + post-dip
