SURFACE TREATMENT

LEAX is an important partner for Commercial Vehicles, Mining and Construction, Agriculture, the Automotive Industry and the Industry in General. Several parts produced require some kind of Surface Treatment. The purpose of surface treatment is to prevent corrosion by using inhibitors in the rinsing step, which, when combined with rust protection bags and a close monitoring system to check the pH and the concentration of the rinse fluid, prevents the shipment of rust-contaminated parts. For assembled parts, we can provide a painting process that is eco-friendly and meets our customer’s requirements.

PROCESSES APPLIED TO THE CARDAN SHAFT

Our paint shop uses the AquenceTM Autophoretic® 866 ™ Series, which is a Henkel coating technology. This water-based organic barrier coating coats metal parts efficiently and evenly. To achieve perfect conditions, before the ACC coating, the shaft goes through a pre-treatment system with two washing steps and three rinsing steps. The last rinsing step is the one with DI water. To avoid any mechanical damage to the surface, we use an epoxy finish.
