Abstract
Compositions for forming chromate coatings on zinc metal or zinc alloys typically contain water as a solvent with hexavalent chromium compounds therein as active ingredients. Such hexavalent chromium compounds are environmentally undesirable. An aqueous composition for forming a chromate coating on zinc metal or zinc alloys is provided which does not contain hexavalent chromium compounds. The composition contains a trivalent chromium compound, an alum and a vanadate.
