The present invention generally relates to an aqueous solution for the formation of a passivation layer on a zinc layer or zinc-alloy layer. More particularly, the invention relates to the formation of a black passivation layer on a zinc layer or zinc-alloy layer, which passivation layer is substantially free of hexavalent chromium. Furthermore, the present invention relates to method for the formation of a passivation layer on a zinc layer or zinc-alloy layer, as well as a passivation layer on a zinc layer or zinc-alloy layer itself. The solution used contains trivalent chromium ions, nitrate ions, an organic acid and a dithioglycolate. |
