Description:

Compared to the other members of the Zamak family of metals, Zamak 2 is the highest in terms of tensile strength, hardness and creep resistance. It gains strength and hardness after ageing for the long term. Some of its outstanding casting qualities are damping capacity and vibration attenuation. However, it gets brittle and shrinks with time. It is used in the production of short-run injection moulding dies.

    Anodizing (Type II)

    Type II anodize provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.

    Notes:
    • Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface color
    • Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight
    • Possibility of requesting custom colors (RAL)

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL colour

  • Powder coating

    Provides a continuous, protective color finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.

    Notes:

    Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders.

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL colour
  • MJF PA12, black spray painting

    Spray painting

    Provides a continuous, protective color finish which is applied by spraying.

    Notes:
    • Paint coating is just on the surface level, if it is scratched or subjected to wear and tear, the internal natural colour is visible
    • Possibility of requesting custom colours (RAL)

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL colour

  • Custom Finishing

    If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually takes 1-2 business days.

    Notes:

    Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.
