Modern Plating Introduces Zinc-PLUS3 Zinc-PLUS3 is a newly developed high performance trivalent finish. This finish eliminates the use of hexavalent chromates which have been used for many years to provide high levels of corrosion resistance. Hexavalent chromates are now being banned in many industries because they have been proven to be carcinogenic. Modern Plating's research has now developed Zinc-PLUS3 to meet the needs of those customers requiring the high performance of Modern's popular Zinc-PLUS finish but in a trivalent version. Testing has shown that Zinc-PLUS3 clear will surpass 300 hours to the first sign of white corrosion in neutral salt spray testing and over 1,000 hours to the first sign of red corrosion. (Zinc-PLUS3 is currently available in a clear (silver) finish. Additional colors are being developed.) Zinc-PLUS3 meets the demanding specifications
of the automotive and other industries that require superior performance
and is ideal for use in the new ACQ lumber. Zinc-PLUS3 offers
a medium to high gloss finish, good elasticity and minimal recess
fill. This permits it to be used on a wide variety of part configurations.
Zinc-PLUS3 offers significant cost savings when compared
to other finishes offering this level of corrosion resistance. It
meets all the adhesion requirements of the ASTM B-571 standard and
has passed the climatic/cyclical testing of GM 9540P .
