Aluminum Chromates
Chromate conversion coatings are thin, chemically formed layers applied to aluminum surfaces to provide excellent corrosion resistance, improve paint adhesion, and maintain electrical conductivity. These coatings act as a durable, non-build-up finish that protects against oxidation and serves as an ideal primer for subsequent coatings. Available in traditional hexavalent chrome or environmentally friendly trivalent chromium processes.
