Brunswick, OH – Columbia Chemical Corp. has been granted approval from several global OEMs for the use of its zinc and zinc-alloy plating processes. To achieve these approvals, the processes were subjected to rigorous testing at each facility.

John Deere has recently revised the updated specification JDM-F15 for fasteners. Columbia Chemical has been granted approval under the specification for SpectraMATE® 25 with COLFIN® TTM-1016, COLDIP® TRI-V 200 UB with COLFIN® TTM-1016, SpectraMATE® 25 with Zinc-Chro-SHIELD® UV (contains UV tracer), and SpectraMATE® 25 with Zinc-Chro-SHIELD®. These product combinations provide specific torque-tension and corrosion resistance requirements for fasteners.

John Deere also granted JDM-F21 Fastener Approval for COLDIP® TRI-V Zn-Ni TRUE BLUE 1000 with COLFIN® TTM-1016 (integrated sealer/lubricant with UV tracer), which provides specific torque tension requirements for its zinc-nickel alloy plated fasteners. For fasteners with a black finish, TRIVECTA® Ni-Z Black 70 with COLFIN® TTM-1016 (integrated sealer/lubricant with UV tracer) was selected and approved.

General Motors has granted a global fastener approval for GMW 3200 tin-zinc alloy. Columbia Chemical’s approved process includes COLTIN-ZN, COLDIP® TZ-10, COLFIN® TTM-1016. Columbia Chemical is also approved for the GMW-4700 Type B, BL specification for zinc-nickel. Columbia Chemical’s approved process includes TRIVECTA® NI-Z BLACK 70 with TRIVECTA® BLACK SEALER 350.

National Cash Register has approved COLDIP® TRI-V 200UB for zinc plating under its 009-0020301F specification.

Alfagomma, an Italian-based manufacturer of hoses, fittings and adapters with a worldwide network of regional branches, has granted approval of SpectraMATE® 25 and Zinc-Chro-SHIELD® to meet their galvanizing specifications for hydraulic components and for rigid pipe.
