Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Clear Aluminum Chromate Conversion Coating
- Paint-Adhesion and Corrosion-Resistance Improvement
- Spray or Immersion Application
Product Description
BONDERITE® M-CR 1001 AERO is a nonflammable, chromic acid-based conversion coating for aluminum and aluminum alloys. It produces a clear chromate conversion coating that becomes an integral part of the aluminum surface, providing an excellent substrate for paint adhesion while improving corrosion resistance. The coating is especially suited for applications where the natural silver-white appearance of aluminum is to be retained, either unpainted or beneath a clear finish.
Key Features
- Chromic acid-based conversion coating for aluminum and its alloys.
- Clear conversion coating preserves the natural silver-white aluminum appearance.
- Provides excellent corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.
- Suitable for spray and immersion processing.
- Nonflammable formulation.
Applications / Suitable for
- Aluminum and aluminum alloys
- Paint pretreatment
- Corrosion protection
- Clear-finish aluminum components
