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

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE
pH:
Use an electronic pH meter or pH paper to measure the pH at least twice per shift.
Titration Procedure:
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.
