Zinc flake

 

Zinc flake is a non-electrolytic plating process which offers very high corrosion and chemical resistance. As a result, there is a low risk of hydrogen embrittlement which makes it particularly suitable for fasteners with a tensile strength greater than 320 HV.

Some of the most common finishes are shown below however there are many different systems available.
