Detailed Product Description:

 

Alodine® T5900RTU, a registered trademark of Henkel Surface Technologies,

 

is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use chemical formulation for a treatment process for

 

aluminum used to provide corrosion protection and as a surface preparation for

 

paint and adhesives.

 

 

Often referred to as “TCP” (Trivalent Chromium Process), it differs from the

 

original Alodine 1201 in that it contains trivalent chromium in place of the

 

more common (and carcinogenic) hexavalent chromium.  It is thus considered

 

less hazardous and more “environmentally friendly.” 

 

 

As with other Alodine versions, it is intended to provide corrosion prevention

 

on aluminum alloys, even when left unpainted.  

 

 

Chemical conversion coatings provide excellent treatments to prep aluminum

 

prior to paint or application of adhesives since they greatly enhance the ability

 

of an organic coating to form a bond with the aluminum substrate.  Being a

 

surface conversion treatment rather than an actual coating, it will not alter the

 

dimensions of the part.

Alodine® T5900RTU methods and properties are now listed in
