    During the 20th century cheap and abundant energy made corrosion a manageable problem. This era is coming to an end. Soon, industry will find there is less funding available for corrosion prevention after adjusting for rising energy costs. At this time, management will be forced to decide whether to continue with traditional corrosion control practices or change to something new with a greater potential for energy savings. For many, this will be an extremely difficult decision to make.

    Air blasting contributes to more productive cleaning and pretreatment by making short work of otherwise time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks. For many metal finishers, particularly shops that rebuild parts, prep work often represents more than half the battle. Success depends on maximizing surface receptivity to whatever procedure follows and, in many cases, maintaining part dimensions during cleaning or profiling. Because of its versatility and dexterity, air blasting excels in many challenging pretreatment and cleaning jobs.

Dubois Chemicals Webinar Set for Dec. 17

09 December 2009

Metal Finishing, in association with Dubois Chemicals, will present a webinar on Dec. 17, 2009. The one-hour presentation, based on an update on Dubois Chemical’s Zirconization™ technology, will focus on DuBois’ DuraTEC 110 Nonphosphate Cleaning and Pretreatment Solutions for Ferrous and Nonferrous Parts.

A brief description of the Dubois Chemicals webinar: Nonphosphate pretreatment systems are gaining broader acceptance in the marketplace. Public opinion, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship are moving manufacturers away from phosphate-based chemistries. Many unique nonphosphate technologies have been developed, but often actual implementation may be difficult. This webinar will help finishers understand how to apply Zirconization™ in their xisting paint pretreatment system. DuraTEC 110 is designed to run in the first stage of a conventional 3-stage washer with minimal adjustments to your operation.

This webinar will:

  • Describe the operating advances in Zirconization™ versus traditional phosphate or phosphoric acid-based technology
  • Discuss when and why you may want to switch from phosphate-based chemistry to Zirconization™
  • Discuss typical washer configurations for 3-6 stage systems using DuBois DuraTEC 100 and DuBois DuraTEC 110.

Panelists include: Richard Moore, Research Lead, Water Technologies; Bill Frisz, Research Lead, Surface Finishing; and David Schimpff, Business Segment Leader, Surface Finishing, DuBois. Ron Joseph, Metal Finishing’s Organic Editor, will moderate.

Register today to attend this informative webinar program.
