It will: identify and define conversion coatings; discuss the basics of a zinc phosphate process for ferrous and aluminum surfaces; outline the advantages and disadvantages of zinc phosphate; and delve into the pros and cons of alternative technologies, such as zirconium, titanium, and silane. Ron Joseph, Organic Coatings Editor for Metal Finishing, moderates. 2009-01-29 http://www.organicfinishing.com/webinar/59/alternative-pretreatment-technologies-for-steel-and-aluminum-surfaces http://www.organicfinishing.com/webinar/98/zirconization-update-introducing-dubois-chemicals-duratec-110-nonphosphate-cleaning-and-pretreatment-solutions-for-ferrous-and-nonferrous-parts Nonphosphate pretreatment systems are gaining broader acceptance in the market place. Public opinion, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship are moving manufacturers away from phosphate-based chemistries. 2009-11-24 http://www.organicfinishing.com/webinar/98/zirconization-update-introducing-dubois-chemicals-duratec-110-nonphosphate-cleaning-and-pretreatment-solutions-for-ferrous-and-nonferrous-parts
