Toran 3® Pretreatment

Toran 3® is an innovative, single-stage pretreatment, designed to prepare metallic surfaces such as steel, aluminium, and galvanized metals for subsequent coating applications. It serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional phospho-degreasing or passivating processes. With Toran 3® your products are cleaned, protected and ready for painting. Toran 3® is perfect for all kinds of businesses and industries. Contact us today to find out more about our pretreatment services.

How Does It Work?

Toran 3® consists of organic fluids combined with polymers and special additives to achieve effective degreasing and immediate protection against oxidation. Upon application, it forms a thin polymeric film on the metal surface, which not only protects against flash rust, but also incorporates oily contaminants, eliminating the need for separate degreasing steps. Once dried and painted, Toran 3 routinely provides over 1000 hours salt spray corrosion protection.

Importantly, the process is incredibly efficient, which helps to reduce the time taken for application and saves you money. Why not call us today to find out more? Or, see our case studies to learn how Toran 3® has helped businesses save time, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.

Benefits Of Using Toran 3®

Toran 3® has been proven to offer all kinds of benefits, making it a great option over some older, outdated methods of pretreatment. The idea behind it was to increase the efficiency of the pretreatment process, and by doing so, Toran 3® helps in a multitude of ways. Some of these benefits include:

Eco-friendly Solutions

We always strive to ensure the products and methods we use and promote are in line with our company goals, such as working to be a carbon-neutral business. Chemtec’s Toran 3® chemical pre-treatment technology sets the standard as a one stage, self-contained process, with no heat, no water, and no sludge to dispose of. All of this massively reduces cost and energy usage, which benefits your business just as much as it does the environment. The smaller footprint means initial investment can be reduced, and vital space freed up within your factory.

It sounded too good to be true, but long term trials have proved the process works

It’s the only process we’ve found that allows us to store cast steel and iron products without the worry of going rusty before assembly

We’ve seen lots of benefits – resolved storage issues, reduced utility costs, reduced water usage, carbon footprint AND our production time

The corrosion protection of Toran 3 technology is vastly superior to our previous system. Our products need to withstand harsh outdoor environments out at sea and Metavate have helped us achieve this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Toran 3® pre-treatment used for?

Toran 3® is a single-stage pre-treatment process designed to prepare metal surfaces such as steel, aluminium, and galvanized metals for painting or coating. It removes oily contaminants, prevents oxidation, and improves paint adhesion. Therefore, making it ideal for a wide range of industries.

Unlike conventional phospho-degreasing or multi-stage passivating methods, Toran 3® is a simplified, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative. It works at ambient temperature. Which means it requires no rinsing, no heat, and produces no sludge. As a result, reducing both operational costs and environmental impact.

Yes. Toran 3® is fully compatible with both liquid and powder coating systems. It enhances paint adhesion and offers long-lasting corrosion protection, typically achieving over 1000 hours of salt spray resistance once coated.

Absolutely. Toran 3® eliminates the need for water, heat, and multistage chemical systems. This then contributes to significantly lowering energy consumption and waste output. It aligns with sustainable manufacturing practices and supports carbon-neutral goals

Toran 3® is suitable for virtually any industry working with metal components, from automotive and marine to construction and manufacturing. Whether you need to protect parts for harsh environments or streamline your production process, Toran 3® delivers excellent results.
