Light Metal Conversion Coatings
Conversion coatings on light metals form a very thin, non-decorative layer. As a result, this layer resists corrosion and helps bonding materials and paint stick better.
Advantages of Alodine® 5200 / BONDERITE® M-NT 5200
- Chrome-free conversion coating
- Environmentally friendly replacement for Hexavalent Chrome
- Stabilizes electrical resistance of material surfaces to improve adhesive bonding
- Excellent pretreatment base for wet paint, CARC paint, powder coating, structural adhesive, and rubber to metal bonding
- Improves corrosion resistance
- Does not affect part dimensions
Specification Capability
Custom Coating can process aluminum conversion coating requirements associated with:
| Specification / Callout | Description |
