Chromate Conversion - The Process

This process is a non-electrolytic process for coating aluminium. Whilst it does not have the same wear properties as sulphuric acid anodising and is not suitable for colour dyeing, it is more pliable and provides an excellent surface for paint and bonding.

Malden are experienced in the three processes most commonly used throughout the industry, namely Alocrom 100, Alocrom 1000, and Alocrom 1200, each have their own specific uses

Alocrom 100
Alocrom 100 provides a bluish/green coating, very durable offering excellent corrosion resistance, but with low electrical conductivity. There is no hexavalent chromium in this coating.
