Pretreatment Products for Aluminum

We manufacture both non-chromate and chromate conversion coatings for aluminum alloys. Our non-chrome products have been used in industry for over a decade. The following products represent the latest in non-chrome technologies and some of the best performing chromate conversion coatings around.

Non-chromate Conversion Coatings
A-1000 A two to four stage process that provides excellent corrosion resistance and paint adhesion. Useful on parts which will be painted or to which a sealer is applied to improve hydrophilicity or corrosion resistance.
A-3000 A one stage process that imparts excellent corrosion resistance to parts. Usually a sealer is not required.
A-5000 A new non-chrome coating with outstanding paint adhesion properties. We achieved over 3000 hours in NSS on painted aluminum panels with only 2-3 mils of polyester-urethane paint.

Chromate Conversion Coatings
A-300 A good basic chromate conversion coating for aluminum alloys. With coatings weights from 20 mg/sq.ft. to well over 130 mg/sq.ft., it provides great corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.
A-350 A molybdenum free chromate conversion coating. Additionally, A-350 works at lower temperatures than A-300, providing lower energy costs.
