Aerocote 3 is a heavy zinc phosphating compound. It is an economical immersion coating containing a selected combination of acidic metal salts, activators and modifiers that produce fine dense crystalline coatings on ferrous metals. The resulting gray to black finish is an integral part of the metal surface.

Coating Weight : 1500 to 3000 mg/ft2 (16.2 to 32.3 g/m2), depending on the composition and hardness of the material being treated and on concentration, time and temperature of application. Aerocote 3 can be applied to virtually any ferrous metal component (sub-sea parts, tubular goods, threaded components, valves, fasteners, connectors, etc). A post-treatment of rust protection oil is recommended.

Aerocote 4 is a manganese phosphating compound. It produces fine, dense, crystalline coatings on ferrous metals. Aerocote 4 reduces wear and facilitates break-in of bearing surfaces. Aerocote 4 can be applied to virtually any ferrous metal component (sub sea parts, tubular goods, threaded components, valves, fasteners, connectors, etc). Coating Weight is 2000 to 3500 mg/ft2 (21.5 to 37.7 g/m2), depending on the composition and hardness of the material being treated and on concentration, time and temperature of application. Aerocote 4 is especially effective where it is desirable to reduce friction, galling and scoring on ferrous components.

GARDOROL CP 8016 is an oil-based material applied as an emulsion and is designed for sealing phosphated surfaces to give good corrosion resistance. It is used mostly on such articles as bolts, nuts, washers, threaded articles, stampings and other miscellaneous parts which have been treated with phosphating solutions. In addition to providing extra corrosion protection, the GARDOROL CP 8016 also darkens the coatings slightly and produces a more pleasing appearance. As the flash point of the concentrate is above 90°C, there is no fire hazard with the operating bath.
