What is ALODINE 1200S?
BONDERITE® M-CR 1200S AERO (ALODINE 1200S) is a brown, metal pre-treatment powdered chemical used to produce a protective coating on aluminum which minimizes corrosion and provides an improved bond for paint. Surfaces treated with it range in color from a light iridescent golden to tan.
How to apply ALODINE 1200S?
Mix 2 oz. of ALODINE 1200S coating chemical per gallon of water (this is equivalent to 15 g of ALODINE 1200S coating chemical per liter of solution). Stir well until the powder is dissolved. Note A am Note: A small amount of insoluble material may settle out of solution; this can be disregarded.
Is alodine 1200 conductive?
Alodine 1200S powder and baths are acidic, and poisonous. Alodine coatings are electrically conductive.
What is Bonderite?
Overview. BONDERITE® metal pre-treatments are designed to clean, coat and protect multi-metal surfaces. The Bonderite® products provide excellent corrosion protection, deeply adhered surface preparation and durability for extended equipment life.
What is alodine coating?
Also known as chem film or chemfilm, Alodine® is a chromate conversion coating that protects aluminum and other metals from corrosion. In chemical conversion coatings, the metal undergoes a chemical reaction at the surface. This chemical reaction transforms the metal surface into a protective layer.
How do you use Bonderite?
Activate by holding the applicator tip down on the surface to be treated. Press the pen tip down for 15 to 30 seconds to open the spring valve allowing BONDERITE M-CR 1132 AERO to wet the applicator tip. When the BONDERITE M-CR 1132 AERO just wets the tip, release the downward pressure. The unit is ready to use.
Is Alocrom 1200 banned?
The hexavalent chromium based Alocrom 1200 which is a process we have used for many years is now on the B/T/R list (Banned / Targeted / Restricted). Unlike your previous posts, this is a through-life toxicity consideration.
How long does alodine last?
Alodining is a process in which a metal is coated with a chemical called alodine. This coating hardens to the surface and can last for years if painted, not requiring reapplication.
What is Autophoretic coating?
Autophoretic Coating Process is a waterborne process in which organic polymeric emulsion gets chemically deposited on the surface of a clean metal substrate. Specifications: Elimination of heavy metal waste and volatile organic compounds emissions. Improvement of inside-out corrosion performance.
When should alodine be used?
Chem film or Alodine is a chemical conversion coating that’s mostly used to protect aluminum from corrosion. It’s primarily used to passivate aluminum as it protects this metal and serves as a base for paint coatings. It leaves aluminum unaffected, so it’s easier to put paint over it without changing anything.
How do you apply Bonderite to alodine?
Brush Application: Apply to a chemically cleaned surface using the solution undiluted from the container. Immersion Application: For each 100 parts of bath, mix 33 parts of BONDERITE M-CR 1201 AERO (known as ALODINE 1201) and 67 parts of water.
What is the difference between alodine and Alocrom?
Alocrom 1200 is marketed under the name Alodine 1200 outside of the UK and drawings calling for Alodine 1200 can be coated with Alocrom 1200 and vice versa. For example, for maximum electrical conductivity, the coating is colourless to very light yellow, whereas for maximum corrosion protection it is a deeper yellow.
