Product Update - Air Spring Bead Plate Coating

Update #2347 Attention: Dayton Parts’ Distributors and Business Partners. Dayton Parts would like to make you aware of a product update:

Recent improvements in trivalent passivate technology with additional top coating/sealers are to a level that Veyance is ready to change their coating system, common in air spring bead plates, to a more environmentally friendly treatment without reducing corrosion resistance. The zinc plating material and thickness applied to the base metal surfaces is not changing, only the surface treatment that initially protects the exposed zinc plated surface.

As many OE customers implement new coating standards, trivalent passivate treatment is becoming the new standard for replacing older, less environmentally friendly conversion coating technology applied to zinc plating.

There have been no dimensional changes affecting the fit or function of these bead plates, but the appearance will change from the current “olive drab” green to a clear/silvery appearance as shown below.

th This will be a running change as inventory is replenished and will start transitioning later in 4 quarter of 2014.

Current Olive/Drab Apearance

Future Trivalent Clear/Silvery Appearance
