Delta-Tone 9000 - Application and Performance

Overview   |   Properties   |   Application and Performance

Application:

DELTA-Tone 9000 is used as a base coat on ferrous components processed in a basket or on jigs.

Products processed in a basket by dip-spin:

Bolts, Nuts, Dowels, Clips, Clamps, Tension Springs, Pins, Small Castings as well as other fixing elements for the automotive industry, building industry, Steel construction, and many other industries

Products processed on jigs by dip-drain or spray:

Larger components such as stampings and pressings, large compression springs, chains guide rails, mounting rails, fixing plates trailer couplings connectors, materials handling components etc.

Degreasing:

All the more well-known processes that have no detrimental effect on parts may be used. Alkaline degreasing is a typical example.

Scale/Rust:

All the more well-known chemical pickling processes can be used unless they are detrimental to the parts in question. Shot blasting can also be used on suitable components.

Performance:

Coating Thickness: The corrosion resistance of Delta-Tone 9000 will increase with increasing coating thickness and number of coats, it exhibits a self healing effect caused by the migration of zinc corrosion products into damaged areas.

  1. Standard protection - salt spray test according to ASTM B117 over 250 h. 20 to 26 g/m² dry coat weight are equivalent to 6 and 8µ dry coat thickness
  2. Improved protection - salt spray test according to ASTM B117 over 600 h. 32 to 38 g/m² dry coat weight are equivalent to 10 and 12µ dry coat thickness

Delta Tone 9000 can be used in areas exposed to heat up to 150°C and is resistant to organic solvents. Delta Tone 9000 provides bimetallic corrosion resistance when used on parts assembled to aluminium.
