Metal Pretreatment
Multi-stage pretreatment that cleans, treats, and prepares metal surfaces for superior adhesion and corrosion resistance.
Surface treatment
In-House Pretreatment Process
To ensure every component is prepared for flawless finishing, our skilled team at FTI Manufacturing performs a 12-tank pretreatment process in-house. This process creates a surface that is clean, corrosion-resistant, and optimized for maximum paint and powder coating adhesion. By removing oils, rust, and contaminants, and applying a protective phosphate layer, our pretreatment delivers durability and consistent surface quality across all projects.
As part of our commitment to end-to-end precision sheet metal fabrication, FTI Manufacturing’s in-house pretreatment facility reduces dependency on external suppliers, shortens lead times, and allows us to maintain strict quality control at every step. Our system includes degreasing, derusting, phosphating, passivation, and controlled drying, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding industrial environments.
With RoHS-compliant processes and a focus on sustainability, FTI Manufacturing’s pretreatment service not only meets but exceeds industry standards for surface preparation and corrosion resistance.
Pretreatment Features
Pretreatment Process That Ensures Durability and Quality Finishes
Our pretreatment line includes the following critical stages:
- Degreasing & Cleaning – Removes oil, grease, and contaminants from the metal surface.
- Derusting & Surface Conditioning – Eliminates rust, scales, and oxides to create a uniform base.
- Phosphating – Provides a crystalline phosphate coating that enhances paint adhesion and corrosion resistance.
- Rinsing & Passivation – Neutralizes residues and seals the surface for stability and durability.
- Drying – Ensures a clean, moisture-free surface ready for powder coating or further processing.
To further enhance consistency, our air-agitated pretreatment tanks maintain uniform chemical concentration and circulation, guaranteeing even coating across all surfaces and eliminating the risk of untreated areas.
