Metavate’s innovative Plaforization
pretreatment technology
Metavate are the UK and
Ireland’s sole distributor
of the revolutionary
pretreatment technology
‘Plaforization’™. The process
degreases, polymerises and
pretreats metal products in
just one step with no waste,
heat or water required.
Treatment times are just
90 seconds and treated
parts are immediately
protected against flash
rust. No need to paint
straight away, providing
customers with increased
flexibility. Parts can be
dipped or sprayed and all
installations are bespoke.
There are products for
both wet paint and powder
coating and their products
can be used on any type
of metal. Depending on
the level of protection
required Metavate’s range
of products provide salt
spray protection from 600
to 2000+ hours.
This single-stage treatment process offers a
faster, easier, greener and more affordable
alternative to labour-intensive phosphating.
Metavate have a range of different products
which address every type of requirement for
individual customers from air-dry products for
dip systems, through to products for batch
processors and on-line spray tunnels.

Customers of Metavate
have found massive
rewards in utilising
Plaforization™ processes,
one customer said;
“We were sceptical at the
start, it sounded too good
to be true, but after we had the test results
back it did just what they said it would. Since
then we’ve seen lots of benefits - resolved
storage issues, reduced utility costs, reduced
water usage, carbon footprint and our
production time. We’ve been really
impressed.”
