Chemical Concentration: 0.5-1% (as per supplier
4 Activation PH = 9-11
recommendation).
Total acid = 20-25ml Measure phosphate coating weight (e.g., 2-3 g/m² for
Accl. = 4-6 ml zinc phosphate).
5 Phosphate
Temp = RT
Conduct a visual inspection for uniform coating.
Water Quality: Fresh, clean water.
6 Water Rinse 2 Total Alkali <2
