How is Impregnation Applied?

The pores formed in the parts during casting cause leakage problems. Impregnation is the most effective, environmentally friendly, and cost-efficient way of sealing parts. It ensures the penetration of special synthetic resins into the parts under vacuum.

Metal impregnation is a process applied to protect metal surfaces and extend their longevity. It increases the metal’s resistance to corrosionand other environmental factors. The impregnation process begins by cleaning the metal surfaces. Removing dirt, grease and rust from the surface is crucial for improving the effectiveness of the process. Cleaning can be carried out by mechanical or chemical methods. The cleaned metal surface becomes suitable for the impregnation solution to penetrate the surface.

The impregnation process continues by applying a protective agent to the metal surface. These preservatives are usually oil-based, water-based or contain organic solvents. The preservative can be applied to the surface of the metal by brushing, spraying or dipping. After the impregnation solution is evenly spread over the surface of the metal, it is allowed to dry for a certain period of time. The drying time varies depending on the type of protective agent used and the method of application. Once the process is complete, the metal surface becomes more resistant to corrosion, thus extending its lifetime. Metal impregnation is especially suitable for parts that have to endure outdoor conditions.
