High corrosion and high UV resistance with minimal coating thickness?

We are looking for a special type of coat which has a corrosion resistance of 700- 800 hours and coating thickness of 8-10 microns. ( like Delta-Magni and Dacromet applications). We already have a coating line for Delta Magni but this type of coat has poor UV protection performance. So we are in search of a different type of coating which has the same application technique as Delta-Magni and Dacromet but has a higher UV performance.

Thank you in advance.

Search the literature and patents after you have an answer from the suppliers of this type of coating.

Hi, Elif. There are few suppliers of dip-spin coatings, so if you are restricted to applying the coating via your existing dip-spin coating line then I think Tom is right that you must talk to the two vendors you mentioned about the UV problem.

But there certainly are other coatings like galvanizing, mechanical plating, alloy zinc electroplating, and e-coating which may meet your corrosion resistance requirements while not being sensitive to UV. Good luck!
