This presentation will give an overview of the different types of pretreatment chemistries that are available for use in paint pretreatment. It will discuss the chemical make-up, positives and negatives of each, as well as the situations that each are best used for. We will go over zinc phosphate, iron phosphate, zirconium, and silane technology, how they are applied, how they are made, and what they are best for.
