OptiCoat

The Ideal Metal Protection Strategy for Aviaries and Cages

OptiCoat from Big Dutchman is a metal protection coating technology that provides excellent corrosion protection while enhancing durability for all metal parts in aviaries and cages. Made from an alloy of Zinc and Aluminium, OptiCoat acts as an active protective corrosion barrier that is far more superior than galvanised zinc.

OptiCoat provides optimal protection for cages in differing climates and house conditions, and in fact improves its protective properties overtime by creating an aluminium rich passive barrier. Tests in a layer farm in Borstel, Germany – over a period of 11 years – resulted in Opticoat treated metal parts showing no signs of rust or uneven surface.

Advantages

  • Up to 4x enhanced corrosion protection compared to galvanised zinc
  • Maximum durability for long-lasting performance proven by real-world tests
  • Active protection that gets better with time without degradation
  • Exceptional corrosion resistance even at welded areas due to intermetallic fusing
  • Maintains a smooth surface making maintenance and cleaning easier
  • Sets the standard for better hygiene and bird welfare

Technical

Independently tested to perform:

  • Salt Spray Test (ASTM-B117)
  • Kesternich Test (DIN 50018, 2.O S.)
