Precautions
1. As with Hot-dip Zn-5%Al alloy coated, it is recommended to control the concentrations of treatment solutions because aluminum contained in the coating layer dissolves into pre-treatment (zinc phosphate treatment) solutions and lessens their effects.
2. The above painting data is an example. It is recommended that each customer test and check the paintability beforehand.
3. When chemically-treated substrate is used, application of adequate primer is recommended.
Test conditions
