Why should we Care About the Surface Treatment of the Slide Rail?

As a Drawer Fittings Manufacturer, share with you. Choosing the right metal surface treatment is not just about color and home furnishing. It is also a complex process and different choices affect function and life.

Most of the corrosion of metal materials occurs in the atmospheric environment. The atmosphere contains corrosive components and corrosion factors such as oxygen, humidity, temperature changes and pollutants. Salt spray corrosion is a common and highly destructive atmospheric corrosion.

The corrosion of metal materials by salt spray is mainly due to the infiltration of conductive salt solution into the interior of the metal to generate an electrochemical reaction, forming a "low potential metal-electrolyte solution-high potential impurity" microbattery system, electron transfer occurs, and the metal as the anode dissolves. Formation of new compounds, ie corrosives. The main role played by salt spray corrosion is chloride ion, which has a strong penetrating ability, easily penetrates the metal oxide layer into the metal, and destroys the passive state of the metal. At the same time, the chloride ion has a small hydration energy. It is easy to be adsorbed on the metal surface, replacing the oxygen in the oxide layer protecting the metal and causing the metal to be destroyed.

China Drawer Slide has many different application methods and application environments. In the process of producing slide rails, we need to protect our slide rails from various factors like Bird's Nest. This is why we have integrated the surface treatment of the slide rails to suit their different application environments.

Surface treatment is a protective chemical coating that helps metal surfaces resist corrosion. In addition to stainless steel, steel is even susceptible to slight humidity. Therefore, proper anti-rust treatment can extend the service life of drawer slides for decades.

What ingredients are added to the surface treatment of the slide rail? Let's take a look.

1. Blue and white zinc plating

2. Black electrophoretic paint

3. White paint

Galvanization is one of the three common surface treatment agents: It uses a zinc-based zinc coating with a clear or black chromate coating, which is a standard coating that resists moderate corrosion. It is suitable for indoor environments such as office and home cabinets.

In contrast, the frequently used black electrophoresis can provide several times the corrosion resistance of galvanized coatings, and it tends to be used on dark cabinets. White paint is more resistant to corrosion and can be used in kitchen furniture and appliances-first of all, it usually has a white appearance. These colors help to integrate the slide rail into its application environment. Our weather-resistant slide rails have an additional coating on top of the standard galvanized coating to protect the slide rails from outdoor environmental factors.
