    The document describes the progression of four generations of trivalent chromium passivation coatings used to protect zinc surfaces from corrosion. The 1st and 2nd generations provide 24-48 hours of protection at ambient temperature but require a topcoat. The 3rd generation is thicker, cures at 60C, and protects for 168 hours. The 4th generation is the thickest, cures at ambient temperature, is clear or iridescent, protects for 250 hours, and is self-healing through a mechanism using charged particles.

    1st & 2nd Generation Trivalent Passivates

    2nd Generation simply adds more


    (chromium, temperature, fluoride) to 1st
    Generation to increase NSST

    Thickness: 100 nm

    Temperature: Ambient

    Appearance: Clear/Blue

    Corrosion Protection: 24-48 Hours to


    White Rust

    Need topcoat (silicate, polymer, wax, etc.)


    to meet automotive requirements
    3rd Generation “Thick Film” Passivates
    Base: Organic Acid

    Thickness: 200-250 nm

    Temperature: 60 C

    Appearance: Iridescent Green/Yellow

    Corrosion Protection: 168 Hours to


    White Rust
    4th Generation “Thick Film” Passivates
    Base: Nano-Particle

    Thickness: 400-500 nm

    Temperature: Ambient

    Appearance: Clear / Iridescent

    Corrosion Protection: 250 Hours to


    White Rust

    Self Healing

    Excellent Heat Resistance

    Consistent NSST Results


    Progression of CrIII Technology

    1st & 2nd GEN 3rd GEN 4th GEN


    4th Generation Self-Healing
    Mechanism

    Particles from the protective layer are negatively charged, and are attracted to the
    positively charged exposed Zinc. When they migrate to the scratch, they fill it in, thus
    automatically “healing” the defect.
