At Effco, we know durability is key. ECOMET Corundum provides exceptional corrosion resistance, lasting 1,000 to 6,500 hours in neutral salt spray tests. Applied in 6-micron layers using a two-step dip-spin process, it ensures comprehensive protection against environmental and chemical factors. The coating etches at just 1 micron every 400 hours, proving its resilience.
In industrial manufacturing, the longevity and reliability of your components are critical to success. Superior corrosion protection is a strategic advantage, and at Effco, we push the limits of what’s possible introducing ECOMET Corundum, a state-of-the-art zinc flake coating designed to provide unmatched protection and durability in the most demanding environments.

Zinc flake coating is applied through a non-electrolytic process, typically using techniques like dip-spin, rack dip-spin, or spray application.
Components are submerged in a coating solution containing zinc and aluminum flakes, ensuring even coverage. The coating is then cured in an oven, creating a durable, protective layer that shields against corrosion and harsh environmental conditions.
This process ensures precise, consistent application without the risk of hydrogen embrittlement, offering superior protection compared to traditional methods.
Zinc flake coatings have become a preferred choice for corrosion protection across various industries. They are commonly utilized in sectors such as:
Traditional coatings like zinc plating and hot-dip galvanizing can be uneven, and thick, and risk hydrogen embrittlement, which weakens high-tensile fasteners. ECOMET Corundum offers a thinner, more precise layer, ensuring better corrosion resistance and avoiding these drawbacks. Its zinc flake coating remains conductive, providing continuous protection even when damaged. Additionally, the process is environmentally friendly, free from acids and pollutants.
Long-Term Protection with ECOMET Corundum
ECOMET Corundum offers unmatched corrosion resistance, with a corrosion rate as low as 0.02-0.03 microns per year. Withstanding up to 6,500 hours of salt spray testing, it’s built to protect your components against extreme temperatures, chemicals, and humidity, ensuring long-lasting durability.
