scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for non-electrolytically applied coatings, composed mainly of zinc flakes, for protection against corrosion of steel components, excluding threaded fasteners. These coatings may also be provided with integral lubricant if needed. The temperature and duration of curing the coating can influence the mechanical properties of components because of their change of metallurgical conditions. These coatings should not be applied to components that can be used at temperatures higher than the curing temperature, unless specifically ordered.
