KEMP · ELECTROGALVANIZING UPGRADE

HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE
ELPANG Upgrade 500 raises corrosion performance on existing zinc electroplating lines. Across the specified 6–12 µm conditions, the system delivers red-rust SST results of 500–720 hr, supporting component-specific alternatives to hot-dip galvanizing and zinc-nickel plating.
Range endpoints represent different thickness conditions. See the table below for the corresponding white- and red-rust values at each thickness.

PRODUCT & PROCESS
The system is built around UP500-A and UP500-B. For alkaline lines, also assess whether UP500AKL is required. The scope of operational and quality-management support is agreed individually.
UP500AKL · UP500-A · UP500-B
Manage current density and bath conditions.
Monitor SST performance and address quality issues on an ongoing basis.
Support production stability and process optimization.
Process overview: zinc plating → activation and chromate treatment → UP500-A in the third rinse → UP500-B sealer. For alkaline lines, review the addition of UP500AKL to the plating bath. Operating specifications depend on the plating bath, rack or barrel process, and initial make-up or replenishment stage.
Use the latest TDS and agreed line operating specification for dosage, bath concentration and dilution ratios. Calculator defaults are inputs for cost estimation.
