Non-Hexavalent Conversion Coatings for Aluminum and Zinc

QPL Approval for Mil DTL 5541F
Meets European Directives for RoHS, WEEE and ELV
Complies with the new OSHA Chrome Exposure Rules

Luster-On Aluminescent
is a product used to form a conversion coating on aluminum surfaces without the use of hexavalent chromium. Aluminescent is a replacement for yellow or clear hexavalent chromates and provides excellent corrosion protection at low cost and forms a base for paint, lacquer, or rubber bonding. The chromate can be applied by dip, spray, brush, swab, or roll coating, requires no electric current, cooling or exhaust. Luster-On Aluminescent yields clear, slightly iridescent films while forming a protective surface with lower electrical resistance than anodizing. Luster-On Aluminescent is suitable for both wrought and cast aluminum alloys and is designed for ease of operation with minimum control.

Luster-On Tridescent
is a hexavalent-free trivalent chromate that provides 125 hours salt spray protection. Tridescent is the clear replacement for yellow iridescent chromate films on zinc and zinc alloys. It exceeds the requirements of ASTM B-633 Type II, may be baked at 400 F, and readily fits into existing chromate cycles.
