Blue Chromating – Blue Passivation (SW10025.1) Chemical Passivation and Surface Finishing for Zinc-Plated Metal Parts Short Description The Blue Chromating / Blue Passivation SW10025.1 is a chemical solution for the non-electrolytic treatment of zinc-plated metal parts, producing a blue to dark blue protective passivation layer. This layer provides effective corrosion protection, enhances the appearance of zinc-plated parts, and gives a professional metallic blue finish. The treatment is simple to apply in a dip bath without electricity and is suitable as a finish after galvanic zinc plating. Applications Blue passivation is used for: Surface finishing of zinc-plated parts Aesthetic blue to dark blue coloring Corrosion protection and surface stabilization Finishing after galvanic zinc plating Suitable for hobby, workshops, restoration, and industrial use The color ranges from light blue to deep metallic blue, providing a high-quality visual finish. How it Works (Simple Explanation) Preparation: Ensure the metal part has a sufficient zinc layer (≥ 2 µm). Dip: Immerse the zinc-plated part into the blue chromating bath. Chemical Reaction: Within minutes, a blue passivation layer forms on the surface. Rinse: After reaching the desired color, rinse the part with water and dry it. The color intensity can be adjusted by varying the immersion time. Advantages Easy, non-electrolytic application – no power supply required Chromium(VI)-free – safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional chromating Protects zinc-plated surfaces from corrosion Attractive metallic blue finish for decorative and functional applications Ideal for finishing, restoration, and industrial applications Technical Information PropertyDetails / InformationProduct typeBlue Chromating / Blue PassivationApplicationNon-electrolytic, dip bathSuitable forZinc-plated metal partsColorBlue to dark blue, metallic/iridescentMinimum zinc thickness≥ 2 µm recommendedImmersion timeA few minutes (depending on desired color)TemperatureRoom temperatureChromium(VI)-freeYes Practical Instructions Ensure the zinc layer is sufficiently thick (≥ 2 µm).

Tin‑Zinc 70/30 Electrolyte BMG‑100 Eco‑Friendly Tin‑Zinc Alloy Plating Solution for Durable Metal Coatings Short Description The Tin‑Zinc 70/30 Electrolyte BMG‑100 is a specialized electroplating solution designed to deposit a tin‑zinc alloy layer with approximately 70 % tin and 30 % zinc. This alloy coating offers excellent corrosion resistance, solderability, and ductility, while serving as an environmentally friendlier alternative to cadmium plating.  Applications This tin‑zinc alloy electrolyte is suitable for: Alloy plating with tin and zinc for protective and functional layers Corrosion protection on ferrous and non‑ferrous metals Base coatings or primers before further plating steps Functional plating for joint and mechanical components Applications that require good solderability and flexibility How It Works (Simple Explanation) Tin–zinc electroplating uses an electrical current to reduce tin and zinc ions from the electrolyte onto the surface of the part being plated. The deposited alloy forms a uniform, adherent coating that combines the beneficial properties of both metals. Benefits of Tin‑Zinc 70/30 Alloy Plating Environmentally friendlier alternative to toxic cadmium plating  Excellent corrosion resistance for demanding environments High solderability — ideal for assembly and electronics Good ductility for flexible components Even coating thickness, even in recessed areas Typical Properties PropertyValue / RangeElectrolyte typeTin‑zinc alloy plating solutionAlloy ratioapprox. 70 % tin / 30 % zincCoating finishSilver‑white to matte grey (polishable)Corrosion protectionVery goodSolderabilityExcellentDuctilityHighLayer uniformityGood in recessed and complex shapes Practical Application Notes Preparation: Clean and degrease surfaces thoroughly. Plating: Operate the electrolyte with suitable anodes such as zinc or inert materials. Gentle agitation enhances uniform deposition. Post‑Treatment: Rinse plated parts and dry thoroughly. Polishing can enhance final appearance. Safety Information Wear protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing Avoid contact with skin and eyes Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs Use only in well‑ventilated areas Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children Dispose of chemical waste according to local regulations Conclusion The Tin‑Zinc 70/30 Electrolyte BMG‑100 delivers durable, corrosion‑resistant alloy coatings with excellent mechanical and functional properties.
