ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS

TECHNICAL DATA

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS
A HIGH-PERFORMANCE ORGANIC SEALER

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS provides extended corrosion protection to passivated zinc and zinc-alloy


finishes.

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS provides a self-healing mechanism to trivalent passivated surfaces.

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS provides over 350 hours of salt spray protection over high performance
trivalent passivates to less than 5% white corrosion.

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS is used as a final rinse, so there is no additional equipment required.

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS operates at room temperature to 140° F (60° C).

ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS has very low viscosity and produces very thin coatings making it suitable for
both rack and barrel operations. *

* NOTE: ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS reduces adhesion for paint, powder and e-coat, and reduces electric
conductivity.

OPERATING PARAMETERS

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE

Zinc-Chro-SHIELD® OS working solutions can be replenished using either of two methods:

METHOD 1: REPLENISHMENT BY ANALYSIS

pH:

Use an electronic pH meter or pH paper to measure the pH at least twice per shift.

Titration Procedure:

1. Pipette a 5 mL sample of working sealant solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask.

2. Add 5 drops of Bromophenol Blue indicator solution to the flask.

3. Titrate with 0.1N Sulfuric acid from a blue to a permanent yellow.

FACTOR: (mLs. of 0.1 N Sulfuric Acid-1.1) X 3.38 = % ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® OS in dip tank

METHOD 2: REPLENISHMENT BY DRAGOUT DETERMINATION

EXAMPLE: The drag-out per day for an average barrel plating tank is 5% by volume. If the plating
tank is 5 times the size of the final rinse tank, the final rinse tank will lose 25% by
volume per day. Since the optimum initial charge of ZINC-CHRO-SHIELD® is 5% by
volume (10 gallons for a 200-gallon tank), then 25% of this initial charge or 2.5 gallons
must be added each day (along with water to keep the total volume at 200 gallons).

The drag-out per day for an average rack plating tank is 1% by volume. Using the
same calculation as above for a 200-gallon final rinse tank and plating tank 5 times its
size, the final rinse will lose 5% by volume per day. This means that ½ gallon of ZINC-
CHRO-SHIELD® must be added each day.

NOTE: A technical representative from Columbia Chemical can help you determine the
addition requirements for your particular plating operation.
