Non-Hexavalent Conversion Coatings for Aluminum and Zinc

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.
