What causes painted items to rust quickly in winter? The temperature of the chemical treatment solution.
During cold periods, the temperature of the chemical treatment solution decreases, resulting in a thinner and uneven coating. This explains the subtle decline in rust prevention during winter and the key points for managing solution temperature.
It seems that only the parts painted in winter rust faster. The appearance of the paint is no different from summer. 【First, please look here】 □ The color after chemical treatment is lighter and mottled than usual. → The liquid temperature has dropped, and the film has not formed sufficiently. □ Parts treated first thing in the morning are more prone to rust. → They are being processed before the temperature of the treatment tank has fully risen. □ Rust spreads from underneath the paint film. → The rust prevention capability of the substrate has weakened. 【Why does this happen?】 Chemical treatments like zinc phosphate vary in film formation depending on the liquid temperature. When the liquid temperature is low, the film becomes thin and uneven, making it easier for rust to spread underneath the paint film. 【Countermeasures you can take starting today】 1. Measure and record the temperature of the treatment tank at the start of work and at noon. 2. Compare the color after chemical treatment with a sample to confirm. 3. In winter, start heating the tank earlier. 【Free Materials】 We have compiled the standards for process management, including chemical treatment, in the related catalog "Eiwa Kogei_Paint Quality Control Guidelines_Process Management Standards."
