Expert TiZr pre-treatment and powder coating for Land Rover roof racks

Patriot Products are a UK based design and manufacturing firm that specialise in high quality modular roof racks for a variety of vehicles.

Working with a like-minded partner

Patriot has been selling products to many satisfied customers for over 10 years and is known in the industry for its quality of design and workmanship.

When the company was looking for a partner to powder coat Patriot roof racks for the iconic Land Rover Defender the team wanted to work with people who shared the same values; a desire to produce top quality products and consistent service. We worked with Patriot to select a coating which was aesthetically pleasing and provided high performing protection for the aluminium frame. Delivery of a reliable and consistent product to their own client helped Patriot to underpin the quality of its brand.

TiZr pre-treatment for perfect powder coating

Powdertech provides an optimised titanium-zirconium (TiZr) passivation pre-treatment for aluminium which is chrome-free. The passivation process is achieved in a ten-stage PLC controlled immersion treatment process in which the aluminium surface is cleaned and etched, removing the existing oxide deposit and converting it to a consistent TiZr oxide. This passivation layers offers a stable base for the adherence of a consistent powder coated layer and also protection against corrosion.
