Source documents supplied on 2026-10-01. Each row is an application reference for a different thickness condition, not a maximum-hour guarantee at every thickness. The baseline is unsealed for 100 and sealer-treated for 300/500. Control zinc plating, trivalent passivation and post-treatment, and test actual parts before application. SST hours do not represent service life.

PRODUCT & PROCESS
Upgrade 500 chemicals and 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.
Process Control
Manage current density and bath conditions.
Quality & Performance
Monitor SST performance and address quality issues on an ongoing basis.
Data-System Support
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.
