Eco-friendly Aluminum Pretreatment Solutions for Productive Operations

All metal working processes including aluminum pretreatment today place special emphasis to environmental and health ramifications. Hence, various manufacturers have today come up with pretreatment products and solutions that are eco-friendly, without compromising on the quality of the services.

OXSILAN AL-0500- The Only Answer to Energy Saving Pretreatment

At Chemetall America, we have a line of products that have made their share of contribution towards preserving the environment, yet protecting metal like aluminum from various natural and manmade pollutants. Here I would like to make special mention of Chemetall’s OXSILAN that has grabbed the attention of the world community for providing significant energy savings. Named OXSILAN AL-0500, it comes in liquid form and can be applied on the desired surface through spraying, immersing or roll coating. It is actually a silane-based product that is used in the processing of aluminum and its alloys. Some of our consumers have even used them with successful results on magnesium alloys and galvanized steel prior to painting (for unpainted corrosion protection). Among the various sectors which have approved this eco-friendly aluminum pretreatment product is the U.S. Military and many other commercial segments.

Traits of OXSILAN AL-0500

•Best energy saving alternative to non- chrome/ phosphate coating treatments

•Reduces energy consumption as all process is done at ambient temperatures to eliminate the need for a heated bath solution

•Does not require an activation or final seal stage and uses much less water than other methods

•Easy to control automatically and is virtually sludge-free

Hence, this aluminum pretreatment product is preferred across the metalworking industry for reduction in stages and treatment time that results in a direct savings of time, energy and associated costs.
