Alodine <sup>®</sup> EC˛ ™

Alodine ® EC˛ ™

The Alodine ® EC˛ ™ process available from our Cullman, Alabama facility features the largest tank of its kind with a capacity of 108" long, 30" wide, and 40" deep. This advanced coating system allows us the capability of coating aluminum, titanium, and aluminized surfaces with Henkel's Alodine ® EC˛ ™ wear and corrosion resistant coating. This electro-ceramic coating provides a chemical, thermal, and wear resistance that is unparalleled in the coating industry. Alodine ® EC˛ ™ can be used as a finish coat, though it is an excellent base for additional organic coatings or adhesives. This highly flexible coating can be used for a wide range of industry needs: abrasion resistance, anti-corrosion, appearance, corrosion protection, or as a finish coat.

Roll Coating

Roll Coating

Roll coating is the process of applying a coating to a flat substrate by passing it between rollers. Paint is applied by one or more auxilliary rolls onto an application roll, which rolls across the conveyed flat work. After curing, the coated substrate is then shaped or formed into the final shape without damaging the coating.

Anodizing

Anodizing

Anodizing is a process that produces an oxide film or coating on metals and alloys by electrolysis. The material is cleaned, and then immersed in a bath of acids. The metal is the positive pole, or anode, in the acid bath. A current is applied and oxidation occurs. After the item is rinsed, a second step or sealing treatment is applied. This is also when chromate is added, resulting in various colors. Anodization can improve certain surface properties, such as corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, hardness, appearance, etc.
