alUMINIUM TREATMENT Two new additions to our full line of Aluminium Pre and Post Treatment Chemistry are our TRIVATE AL Trivalent Aluminium Passivate and our ALUDYE Aluminium Anodising Dyes. Trivate AL is suitable for use with Aluminium and Aluminium castings providing a clear or slightly coloured Trivalent Passivation layer giving excellent corrosion resistance over a wide range of operating parameters. Our Aludye Anodising dyes provide consistent colouring and performance across a wide range of conditions as well as meeting light fastness and hardness specifications. Coupled with the excellent technical performance are considerable benefits in operating costs when compared to other popular dyes on the market. These two additions give us the opportunity to offer a full process line of Aluminium Treatment Chemistry to the UK market. At the very forefront of plating technology for the General Metal Finishing industry for 60 years.
