Zirconium pretreatment technology is beginning to dominate the finishing industry. Calvary’s advances in technology, as well as application know-how, make the ADVANTECH products high performers, easy to use, easy to control, and help save significant operational costs.

The use of zirconium is relatively new in the marketplace when compared to iron and zinc phosphate, so the technology is quickly advancing as we more completely understand strengths and limitations of the materials. Incorporating the use of reacted functional organics as both chemical adhesion promoters as well as substantive coatings into the zirconium pretreatments, we are beginning to blur the lines between pretreatment and primers. These advances are allowing for optimal corrosion resistance, even under the thinnest topcoats.

The industry performance standard to which zirconium coatings are compared to are zinc phosphate on ferrous parts and chromates on aluminum. With the use of ADVANTECH products, our customers are able to meet the performance levels on all substrates against the traditional industry processes.

ADVANTECH allow users to run multiple substrates without changing washer chemistries or parameters and get superior performance across the board. Fast and easy testing with minimal system maintenance allow for increased productivity.
