Going for the Green

Read the full story in Products Finishing Magazine.

One of the biggest stars in Augusta, GA, during a recent golf week wasn’t named Tiger or Phil, but rather E-Z-GO, one of the top manufacturers of golf carts and utility vehicles.

Officials and VIPs zipped around the course in E-Z-GO vehicles to service the throngs of patrons who come out to watch the game’s most famous tournament. What they didn’t see was the new zinc phosphate free anti-corrosion pretreatment that enhanced the paint performance on E-Z-GO’s line of vehicles to keep them durable for many golf rounds to come.

E-Z-GO switched recently to Chemetall’s Oxsilan, an advanced pretreatment that replaced the traditional iron and zinc phosphate products it had been using. Besides the ecological improvements, Oxsilan is bringing E-Z-GO the added benefits of lower operating costs and quicker processing times.
