Substrate

A sherardized surface has a microcrystalline structure. This is the perfect bonding ground for any kind of processing.

Think of the SheraTop® system or lacquers, PTFE, KTL, lubricants, glue connections or rubber (vulcanisation).

Adhesion Benefits in Sherardized Products

• Paints adhere excellently (mechanical adhesion)
• Topcoats are applied without pre-treatment (by spraying, dip spinning, electrostatic or cataphoresis processes)
• Lubricating properties are retained longer, because lubricants penetrate into the zinc layer
• Rubber or polyurethane-metal connections are inextricably linked to the galvanized product
