Phosphating

Managanese Phospahte

For demanding applications requiring exceptional wear and corrosion resistance, manganese phosphate (MnP) reigns supreme. Its unparalleled hardness, surpassing other phosphate coatings, makes it a trusted choice across diverse industries. MnP not only provides robust protection against wear and tear but also smooths ferrous surfaces for optimal sliding performance. From the harsh environments of oil & gas to the precision demands of aerospace, MnP thrives. Its effectiveness extends to gears, bearings, marine equipment, engines, and various fasteners, offering a universal solution for critical components. While costlier than conventional options, MnP's superior performance often outweighs the expense. Its characteristic dark grey finish reflects a smooth, protective barrier, readily accepting additional lubrication for further enhanced resistance.

Each of the following features enhances value proposition.

Targeted benefits

Depending on the specific application, the break-in or wear resistance properties might be more important. For example, in engine components, wear resistance is crucial, while for threaded fasteners, break-in might be a higher priority.

Versatility

Manganese phosphates can be applied to various metals, including steel, zinc, and aluminum, making them a versatile choice for different applications.

Cost-effective

Compared to other coating methods, manganese phosphate is generally a more cost-effective solution, especially for high-volume production.

Environmental considerations

While some manganese phosphate formulations might contain hazardous materials, newer and more environmentally friendly options are available.

Our Products

It offers several advantages in industrial processes compared to traditional phosphating methods conducted at higher temperatures.

UNIKOAT MN

Enhanced Wear and Corrosion Protection:

The process creates a hard, wear-resistant coating that prevents galling (seizing) of moving parts, significantly reducing wear and tear. Additionally, it provides a barrier against corrosion, extending the lifespan of components.

Improved Lubrication:

The porous nature of the coating allows it to absorb and hold oils and lubricants, reducing friction in bearing applications and further preventing wear. This reduces maintenance needs and improves overall performance.

Efficient Application:

The process utilizes a 10% concentrated solution for immersion applications, requiring only 10-15 minutes at relatively low temperatures (200-210°F). This makes it a time- and cost-effective solution compared to other coating methods.

UNIKOAT MN30

Multi-metal compatibility:

Cleans and phosphates steel, zinc, and aluminum, making it versatile for various applications.

Simplified process:

Can be used in either three or five-stage spray operations, offering flexibility and potentially reducing steps compared to traditional methods.

Excellent pH stability:

Functions effectively in high pH environments, simplifying handling and potentially reducing maintenance needs.
