Premium aluminium surface chemistry: anodising, powder coating pre-treatment, multi-metal lines. 50+ years. 40+ countries.
Pretreatment chemistry for anodising and powder coating of aluminium, steel and zinc. We develop, manufacture and distribute these products from our Andernach site — built on partnership, built on trust.
From cleaning the surface via anodising to sealing. With us, aluminium becomes a high-performance material, aesthetic and brilliant in form and colour.
With our products for chemical pretreating aluminium before the coating process, we ensure optimum adhesion and long-lasting corrosion protection. From cleaning the surface via etching to chromium free corrosion protection.
Chemical pretreatment products for iron/steel and zinc surfaces round off our product range e.g. for job-coaters. From cleaning, etching and iron phosphating to chrome free corrosion protection for duplex coatings.
To complete the pretreatment process at the customer's premises, additional products, equipment and services are also required. These range from additives to post-treatment products, analytical services and the Alu-Academy.
Development, production and laboratory in Andernach. DIN EN ISO 9001 certified.
Native oils, recycled aluminium, mixed substrates — we adjust the chemistry to your raw material, not the other way around.
Several approved chrome free ENVIROX processes by Qualicoat and GSB International for many years. Energy saving anodising and sealing additives approved by Qualanod.
We promote sustainable product development and compliance with legal regulations. DIN EN ISO 14001 certified.
TDS, SDS, approval certificates are either quick available by download or on Email demand.
Distribution and technical service across 40+ countries. Our partners take care about you.
Weakly alkaline cleaner developed for raw material contaminated with rapeseed and other native oils. Drop-in for spray and immersion lines.
Cold sealing additive for anodised aluminium. 60-minute hot-seal alternative — saves 50% energy on the sealing step.
Zirconium-based no-rinse passivation for aluminium and multi-metal lines. Qualicoat & GSB approved, hexavalent-chromium free.
Aluminium is one of the most recyclable materials in the world – if its surface holds up, the entire product will last. Our chrome-free conversion coatings reduce the environmental impact, and special additives for anodising and sealing reduce energy consumption, whilst maintaining Qualicoat and Qualanod certification.
