Zinc – Yellow (Gold)

Yellow Zinc Passivation for High-Visibility Corrosion Protection

Yellow zinc plating (often called Gold Zinc) involves the application of a yellow chromate conversion coating over a zinc-plated surface. It is a staple in the automotive and agricultural industries due to its superior corrosion resistance compared to clear zinc.

Key Performance Advantages

Enhanced Salt Spray Resistance: Typically offers 72 to 96 hours of neutral salt spray resistance before white rust.
Color Identification: The distinct iridescent yellow/gold hue allows for easy part differentiation during assembly.
Excellent Paint Base: Provides an ideal surface for subsequent painting or powder coating.

Typical Applications

Automotive engine components, brake line clips, and throttle linkages.
Heavy machinery fasteners and agricultural equipment.

Trusted by industry professionals for parts that cannot fail in the field.
