Phosphating — A Multifunctional Shield for Metal Surfaces
Phosphating is a chemical conversion treatment that produces an insoluble phosphate crystal layer on metal surfaces. It enhances corrosion resistance, improves paint adhesion, and adds lubricity. Common in automotive, machinery, appliances, and military applications, it serves as an essential base for further surface coatings.

Detail Information
Phosphating is a chemical conversion treatment that produces an insoluble phosphate crystal layer on metal surfaces. It enhances corrosion resistance, improves paint adhesion, and adds lubricity. Common in automotive, machinery, appliances, and military applications, it serves as an essential base for further surface coatings. Suitable: Carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, zinc-coated steel, aluminum (with pretreatment) Not Suitable: Plastics or non-metal substrates At SOMI, phosphating is more than a pretreatment—it’s a strategic enhancement. We offer dual-layer systems, custom film thicknesses, and eco-conscious production lines to meet the demands of modern manufacturing.
