- Product Attributes
- Eliminate chromium pre-washes and chromium-based primers.
- Eliminate costly and dangerous hazmat spraying and disposal.
- Eliminate the need to prime and paint at the same time.
- Magnesium-based primers protect aluminum from filaform corrosion, poor adhesion, and premature paint system failure.
- One single spray coat cold anodizes the surface, creates superior adhesion, and protects against filaform corrosion.
- The surface remains flexible and durable allowing your pre-primed aluminum to be stored for up to one year without worry of oxidation on the surface. Oven-cure for faster turnaround time.
- Revolutionize your painting process while increasing efficiency and dramatically lowering the cost. Your spray booth will be free from carcinogens and your surface prep time will be cut in half.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Cure Method
- Recommended Uses
Prepared aluminum surfaces in demanding industrial and chloride-rich environments:
- Naval and maritime vessels
- Superstructures and antennae
- Construction equipment
- Ground vehicles
- Support equipment
- Multi-metal rivets and joints
- Recommended System
- Aluminum : 2000, 5000, 6000, 7000 Series, Cr-free pretreatment, any Cr-free topcoat
- Multimetal : Primarily aluminum + any metal fastened together
- Structures & Components : Cr-free pretreatment, High performance topcoat (e.g. non-chromate fluoro polyurethane)
- Applications
Originally developed for the U.S. Air Force to apply on airplanes, this technology has been optimized for use on amphibious vehicles and various saltwater applications: yachts, superstructures and construction. Superb for all aluminum alloys, including 2024, 7075, 6061, 5052 and also works well on metal-to-metal joints, rivets and stress points with other metal alloys.
