Docol metal coated products are available with surface quality for unexposed applications.
In addition to these coating masses, OEM specific coatings and single sided EG coatings are available upon request.
1) For GI and GA the closest informative value refers to EN 10346. For EG to EN 10152.
Uncoated (UC): available as oiled.
Electrogalvanized (EG): available as oiled and/or chemically passivated or phosphated.
All surface treatments are in accordance with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU) and do not contain Chromium VI (Cr6+). Surface treatments provide only temporary surface protection during transportation and storage. In order to avoid corrosion damages, care must be taken to keep the products dry during transportation and storage. If they become wet, they must be separated and situated so that they are dried quickly.
