WIROX®: A new innovative galvanic plating 22 March 2017

State of the art screws and fasteners need to be reliable, durably resistant to wear and tear, eco-friendly and risk-free for users. SPAX says its new exclusive corrosion resistant technology WIROX® plating is the answer – offering 20 times higher corrosion resistance than conventional blue zinc plating. 


Meeting even the strictest requirements in accordance with EN 1670, Class 5, SPAX says its WIROX plating is setting new standards as conventional blue zinc plating only meets Class 1 requirements. WIROX has also been optimised for manufacturing with a minimum use of resources. It reduces the number of items that require storage – saving raw materials and improving sustainability.
Featuring increased mechanical resistance, WIROX also ensures the corrosion protection is not impaired – through wear of damage caused during transportation.
WIROX is chrome VI-free, thus avoiding hazards for processors, users, water and the environment, and is suitable for toys in accordance with EU Directive 88/378/EC. The product also meets RoHS EU Directive 2002/95/EC and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, which means it complies with all EU directives and regulations.
