Iron Phosphate

We operate a large capacity 2.5mØ Vixen automated iron phosphate service with a 3 stage wash cycle:

• hot washing with a phosphate solution
• hot rinsing
• hot passivation solution

As well as the large capacity 2.5mØ basket we can undertake pre-treatment of much larger items using the lance attachment.

Phosphate Solution: The iron phosphate solution used is Novaphos from Henkel which is a solution designed for the conversion of iron, steel, aluminium and zinc surfaces to a lightweight iron phosphate coating. The coating conforms to BS3189 Type 4 and DEF STAN 03-11 Class IV specifications.

Hot Rinsing: The hot rinsing is a water solution with synergic detergent additives.

Passivation Solution: The final rinse contains Novaseal 350, a highly concentrated non-chromated solution which provides a sealing action that improves paint adhesion and extends resistance to humidity and salt spray.
