The surface treatment of the metal framework of the Neoprene Bonded Sealing Washers is a process carried out on the metal part of the washer. The main purpose of this treatment is to prevent corrosion and to distinguish the appearance.
(1)Zinc Plated
The most common and cost-effective option provides the basic rust prevention capability for low-carbon steel.
(2)Plain
The bare metal surface without any additional coating, that is, the smooth surface of the metal itself.
(3)Passivated
A chemical treatment, mainly used for stainless steel, is designed to remove free iron from the surface and maximize the inherent corrosion resistance of the material.
(4)Zinc Phosphate
As the base layer for paints or coatings, it provides excellent adhesion and a fundamental anti-corrosion effect.
(5)Zinc-Nickel
It offers 3 to 5 times higher corrosion protection depth than pure galvanization, but at a higher cost.
(6)Zinc Flake
No risk of hydrogen embrittlement, excellent corrosion resistance.
(7)Dacromet
High-performance, environmentally friendly zinc-aluminum sheet coating. The Neoprene Bonded Sealing Washers treated with Dacromet surface treatment are widely used in automotive, wind power and other industrial applications with high corrosion resistance requirements.
(8)PVD/CrN
Chromium nitride (CrN) and other coatings are formed on the metal surface through physical vapor deposition technology, which is mainly used in scenarios requiring high wear resistance.
(9)Anodized
This is only applicable to aluminum Neoprene Bonded Sealing Washers. It increases the oxide layer through electrochemical means, thereby enhancing wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

(1)Which surface treatment method can provide the best anti-corrosion effect?
For carbon steel Neoprene Bonded Sealing Washers, zinc-nickel alloy and Geomet have the highest corrosion resistance.
(2)Does surface treatment affect the bonding effect between rubber and metal?
Yes, it does and it is very important. Before the bonding process, the metal surface must be clean and undergo appropriate pre-treatment. Some surface treatment methods, such as zinc phosphate treatment, will be used as the basis for bonding.
(3)Can the metal gasket be painted (for example, painted black, yellow, or green)?
The rubber part is usually black neoprene, but the metal washer can be coated with colored surface coatings, such as black paint, yellow zinc powder, or green zinc sheet.
