This thin transparent organic coating offers additional corrosion protection, increases protection against fingerprints and improves sliding characteristics during forming operations. It can be used as a primer coat for subsequent painting.
Within our range of metallic coated products, Easyfilm® is an environmentally friendly, chromate-free thin organic coating (TOC) continuously applied double-sided on the whole range of electrogalvanised steel, hot dip galvanised steel, galfan, Magnelis®, Alusi® and Alupur®. Easyfilm® complies with current European legislation banning the use of hazardous substances such as hexavalent chromium, specifically the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment and the End-of-Life Vehicles directives.
Easyfilm® has a dry appearance. Its essential role during a period of six months starting from the date on which the product becomes available at the manufacturer's works is to:
The applications of Easyfilm® are extremely varied, due to the range of properties and advantages available. They include:
