Uses
The product is a solution of dihydrogen hexafluorozirconate containing a small percentage of hydrogen fluoride and used in the phosphating process for metal plating. This product is an alternative to nickel in this process because nickel is subject to environmental regulation. Hexafluorozirconic acid reduces considerably the formation of sludge byproducts compared to zinc-phosphate-based systems and it also can be plugged into production lines easily, with little or no modifications. Hexafluorozirconic acid is the preferred choice when replacing zinc-phosphate ahead of an electrocoat painting system.
