Dacromet (达克罗), also known as zinc-aluminum chromate coating, is a water-based, environmentally friendly surface treatment technology widely used on steel fasteners. Unlike conventional electroplating, Dacromet applies a thin film of overlapping zinc and aluminum flakes bonded by inorganic chromium compounds, delivering 500–1,200 hours of salt spray resistance without hydrogen embrittlement. This document provides a detailed overview of the Dacromet coating system — its composition, structure, process, performance, and applications in the fastener industry.
