(The five steps are dependent on a high level of cleaning; sometimes two cleaning stages will be required, meaning a minimum of six stages). In addition, conversion coating takes place at ambient temperature, so there is no need to use energy heating the bath.<\/p>\n<p>In a customer case study, a UK painting subcontractor switched from zinc phosphating to thin film BONDERITE M-NT 1200, achieving a safe and reliable process as a result of easy bath controls and fewer steps to monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did the company reduce its energy costs, but maintenance was also reduced considerably as very little sludge or scale is produced. Furthermore, the high-performance product passed the 1000-hour neutral salt spray test.<\/p>\n<p>Similar success has been witnessed at a French manufacturer of agricultural plant that is now using zirconium-based BONDERITE M-NT 20120 in place of a five-step phosphating process.<\/p>\n<p>Along with reduced energy consumption, the plant is experiencing excellent paint adhesion and no flash-rusting.<\/p>\n<p>The latter creates a powdery layer that lowers paint adhesion and was previously causing a problem for the plant.<\/p>\n<p>Also in France, outdoor furniture manufacturer, Fermob, is exploiting the benefits of BONDERITE M-NT 20120 to protect its products against corrosion while at the same time minimising environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>Fermob processes some 3200 tonnes of steel and aluminium every year at its Thoissey plant. With a thickness of only 20 to 30nm, the nano-ceramic BONDERITE M-NT 20120 coating is much thinner than the layer achievable with conventional iron phosphating, which is typically 500 to 1000nm.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, paint adhesion and corrosion protection are substantially better \u2013 salt spray tests show that switching to BONDERITE M-NT 20120 improves anti-corrosion performance by about 30%.<\/p>\n<p>A further product of interest is BONDERITE M-NT 2011, an advanced pre-treatment system that provides a nano-ceramic coating to metal substrates, and is especially formulated for use on steel surfaces, aluminium and zinc.<\/p>\n<p>Totally free of phosphorus, COD, BOD and heavy metals, the product operates at room temperature and offers a high level of pre-treatment performance. It needs fewer chemical steps and reduces power consumption, water and space requirements in plants.<\/p>\n<p>As a simple solution for short lines of three or four pre-treatment steps, BONDERITE M-NT 40042 cleans and deposits a conversion coating simultaneously (in the same bath). A Finnish manufacturer operating in the white goods sector is among those already benefiting from this innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Producing refrigerated food shelves, the facility has reduced process costs by 30%, solved phosphate pollution issues in its wastewater and improved mechanical and corrosion-protection performance.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a further Henkel innovation is BONDERITE no-rinse passivation, which offers another way for plants to improve performance on short lines. This turnkey solution comprises a combination of chemistry and equipment, where instead of a conventional tank there is a ring of nozzles between stages that blows a mist on the parts.<\/p>\n<p>The process is not only highly flexible, but produces very few drips and ensures there is always fresh chemistry misted on the components.<\/p>\n<p>For any plant looking to improve its metal pre-treatment processes, BONDERITE M-NT technology from Henkel can deliver clear competitive advantages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free technical advice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Running a high performance pre-treatment process is a challenge, which is why Henkel offers free technical advice for new and existing lines.<\/p>\n<p>This advice helps customers review current processes in order to gain efficiencies and potentially add value to their end products.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8352\" style=\"width: 392px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/HK334-PH-Meter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8352 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/HK334-PH-Meter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/HK334-PH-Meter.jpg 392w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/HK334-PH-Meter-171x300.jpg 171w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advice helps customers review current processes in order to gain efficiencies and potentially add value to their end products<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As part of this, Henkel is offering the opportunity of a free, no obligation line audit in exchange for a free Hanna PH Tester.<\/p>\n<p>Henkel\u2019s qualified experts could recommend new technologies to replace existing metal pre-treatment or give advice for new lines yet to exist.<\/p>\n<p>Simply get in touch HERE henkel-adhesives.uk@henkel.com and one of its technical experts will carry out a full line audit.
