Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0228151A1] An acidic aqueous phosphate solution for phosphating a metal surface, particularly to avoid white spots, is substantially chlorate-free and comprises:   a) from about 0.l to about l.5 g/l of zinc ion,   b) from about 5 to about 50 g/l of phosphate ion,   c) from about 0.2 to about 4 g/l of manganese ion,   d) at least about 0.05 g/l of a fluoride ion,   e) less than 0.5 g/l of chloride ion, and   f) at least one of the following phosphating accelerators:   i) from about 0.0l to about 0.2 g/l of nitrite ion,   ii) from about l to about l5 g/l of nitrate ion,   iii) from about 0.5 to about 5 g/l of hydrogen peroxide (based on l00% H2O2),   iv) from about 0.05 to about 2 g/l of m-nitrobenzene-sulfonate ion,   v) from about 0.05 to about 2 g/l of m-nitrobenzoate ion, and   vi) from about 0.05 to abcut 2 g/l of p-nitrophenol.

[origin: EP0228151A1] Acidic, aqueous, substantially chlorate-free phosphate solution contains in S/L:- 0.1-1.5 Zn ions; 5-50 phosphate ions; 0.2-4 Mn ions; min 0.05 fluoride ions; less than 0.5 chloride ions; and at least one of the following phosphate accelerators:- 0.01-0.2 nitrite ions; 1-15 nitrate ions; 0.5-5 H2O2 (based on 100% H2O2); 0.05-2 m-nitrobenzene-sulphonate ions; 0.05-2 m-nitrobenzoate ions and 0.05-2 p-nitrophenol.
