Henkel’s Granodine 101 is a non-accelerated hot dip process, providing a low cost, maximum protection maganese-iron phosphate coating on iron or steel. It is recommended for castings, tools, nuts, bolts and service equipment – particularly those items which cannot be easily painted.
Granodine 101 is an effective foundation for oils, stains or matt paints, preventing rust creep under the protective film should the surface become damaged – it is also ideal for protecting from wear on moving surfaces (however, where an accelerated process is allowable, Granodine 111 is recommended as an alternative).
Phosphate coating/treatment time with Granodine 101 will vary between 15 and 40 minutes, depending upon the surface condition of the item being treated, and the pre-cleaning method used. If treating for wear prevention a stronger bath, and shorter immersion time may be required.
Granodine 101 is approved to DEF 29-A as a Class 1, non-accelerated process, and meets BS3189: type 1A Heavyweight.
