The PAS II~III, developed by AnodizeUSA, is a rugged, easy to use, time and money saving apparatus which quickly allows you to process any anodizing project.      

Why use the PAS II~III for Amperes Per square Foot (ASF) anodizing?  Easy  .......... 

  • No need for timely square footage calculations.
  • ASF anodizing is faster and more consistent than voltage anodizing.
  • Obtain substantially increases in productivity. 
  • Production of large batches of the same or similar parts will have more consistent results with ASF anodizing.
  • ASF anodizing has proven to provide better dye absorption in 50% less dye time.

RoHS Compliant 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.

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