Dacromet is a type of coating that provides corrosion resistance and anti-friction properties to various metal surfaces. It is a water-based, inorganic coating that is commonly used in industrial applications, particularly in the automotive, construction, and manufacturing sectors.

The Dacromet coating is typically applied through a dip-spin process. The metal parts are first cleaned and then immersed in a solution containing zinc and aluminum flakes along with inorganic binders. The parts are then centrifuged to remove excess coating and ensure uniform coverage. After the coating is applied, it undergoes a curing process to form a durable and protective layer.

Dacromet coatings offer several advantages. They provide excellent corrosion resistance, even in harsh environments, by forming a barrier against moisture, chemicals, and oxidation. The coating is also self-healing, meaning it can repair minor damages to itself over time. Additionally, Dacromet offers good adhesion properties, ensuring that the coating remains firmly attached to the metal surface.

This type of coating is often used on fasteners, bolts, nuts, and other metal components that are exposed to corrosive conditions or require lubricity. Dacromet is known for its high salt spray resistance, making it particularly suitable for applications where corrosion protection is critical.
