Chromate Conversion Coating for Aluminum
Specialized chemical pretreatment designed to prepare applicable aluminum surfaces before powder coating.
Better Preparation Starts With the Surface
The performance of a coating system depends heavily on the condition of the substrate underneath. Chromate Conversion Coating chemically treats applicable aluminum surfaces before powder application, helping create a properly prepared surface for the subsequent coating system.

Chromate Conversion Coating can provide several advantages when applied to applicable aluminum surfaces before powder coating.
Improved Coating Adhesion
Helps prepare the aluminum surface for the subsequent coating.
Additional Corrosion Protection
Creates a conversion layer that can help protect applicable aluminum substrates.
Consistent Pretreatment
Supports a controlled preparation process before powder coating.
Suitable for Aluminum
Used for applicable aluminum components and profiles.
Aluminum Applications We Can Review
Chromate Conversion Coating can be suitable for a variety of aluminum components and profiles.

Pretreatment Before Powder Coating
Chromate Conversion Coating is not the final decorative finish. It is a pretreatment used before subsequent coating when appropriate for the application. The process prepares the aluminum substrate before the powder coating system is applied.

Common questions about our Chromate Conversion Coating service.
What is Chromate Conversion Coating?
It is a chemical surface treatment used on applicable aluminum substrates before subsequent coating. It creates a conversion layer that can help prepare the surface for the next coating step.
Why is it used before powder coating?
It can help prepare the aluminum surface, support coating adhesion and provide additional corrosion protection when appropriate for the application.
Is Chromate Conversion Coating a final finish?
No. In this application it functions as a pretreatment before subsequent coating. It is not intended to be the final decorative finish.
Can all aluminum parts receive this treatment?
Compatibility depends on material, application and project specifications and should be evaluated before processing. Send us details for review.
