Greenkote is an advanced, patented, thermal diffusion process that takes zinc-based corrosion-resistant coatings to a new level of performance. What’s more: it’s eco-friendly. All processes and coatings are completely free of toxics and pollutants, including heavy metals and Cr6+ and Cr3+.
Greenkote is a unique corrosion-blocking coating that eliminates hydrogen embrittlement, offers enhanced adhesion, wears longer, and is environmentally-friendly.
Greenkote delivers exceptional protection against corrosion and eliminates hydrogen embrittlement, providing superior adhesion and greater uniformity. It’s technically a superior replacement for zinc plating, hot dip coating, mechanical galvanizing, zinc flake dip-spin, and various other competitive processes. In some cases, Greenkote can replace stainless steel or chromium plating.
The innovative anticorrosion coatings serve a broad range of industries — from automotive and rail to offshore and construction — in which products are exposed to the weather and harsh and extremely corrosive environments. These coatings meet and exceed numerous international corrosion protection standards such as C5 and over 3000 hours of standardized salt spray testing.
The international developer of Greenkote recently announced that it’s entered into a joint venture with Duroc N.V., a European coatings company. In the coming months, the companies will be installing major new Greenkote equipment in Duroc’s Antwerp facility to produce advanced thermal diffusion coatings.
The new affiliation will make Greenkote coating capabilities directly available to the European Union and surrounding regions. The company also has a U.S. facility in Brook Park, Ohio.
“We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Duroc because they are one of Europe’s most experienced and respected providers of metal coating services,” said Gore. “Having Greenkote coating capabilities installed directly in their Antwerp facility will enable European customers to get our anticorrosion coatings much more quickly and easily. And it will significantly extend Greenkote coverage, adding to the facilities we currently have in the UK and Italy.”
Greenkote uses a dry bulk powder formulation of zinc, aluminum, and other proprietary ingredients that is thermo-diffused into the iron-based metal substrate surface of finished metal parts. The Greenkote coating forms in two basic phases. Learn about them here.
