About Us and Our History

Zinc Phosphate was originally developed in the UK as a high purity, non-toxic alternative to Zinc Chromate and Red Lead. It is now used as an extremely effective anti-corrosive additive in paints and coatings, significantly improving their ability to withstand the most arduous conditions.

Delaphos has been a leading brand of Zinc Phosphate over many years and is synonymous with high purity and cost-effectiveness, previously manufactured by companies including Trident Alloys and Mazak. In March 2009 the brand and manufacturing business was purchased by JPE Holdings Ltd, which has been trading for more than 40 years, with a core business centred around construction and waste management.

With a hands-on management approach, the company continues to provide the high levels of service, flexibility and relationships that customers expect. Our experienced team continues to manufacture the internationally recognised Delaphos brands from our well-established UK production facility, supplying leading paint and coatings manufacturers around the world with consistent product quality and standards.
