Title of Technology to be offered

A process for passivation of galvanizing surface

Type of Technology

Indigenous

Area of Technology

Materials and Material Science

Brief description/abstract

The process is simple, low capital intensive and can easily be adopted in small /large scale sectors. In the process, the ingredients are dissolved in hot (85+ 50C) water with high speed stirrer and cooled. Activators and passivators are prepared under controlled conditions and mixed with other ingredients. The process is simple and does not required big plant and machinates.

Major Raw Material

(a) Water borne polymers (b) Chromium based compounds (c) Acids (Inorganic/organic/surfactants/oxidizer)

Major Plant Equipment/Machinery

(a) HDPE Tank (b) High speed stirrer (c) Immersion heater etc. costing Rs 2.00 lakhs (approx.) All are indigenously available.

Area of application

Minerals, Metals and Materials

Details of specification application

Finds major application for the passivation of galvanized tubes and sheets to prevent white rust

Status of  Development

The process standardised at a scale of 3000 litre per week.

Ecological/Environmental Impact  (if any, specify briefly)

Reduced pollution hazards as the process contains low Chromium (VI)

Patenting details

1284/DEL/90, Dt. 18.12.90, India

Extent of Commercialisation

Seeking to licence or sell  this innovation

Technology Transferring Agent

NML/CSIR

Technology Transfer Assistance Offered (Optional)

Includes (a) Process know how (b) details of equipment's (c) Plant lay out (d) Quality assurance. Assistance in setting up the plant on separate terms.

Key words

Passivator, Galvanized Surface, Corrosion resistance

Additional Information (if any)

A plant with a capacity process 3000 litres passivator per week costs approximately Rs. 12.0 lakhs. Ideally suitable for the small scale industry.
