| CHEMISTRY | USE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| SANFRAN® | Sulfuric Electrolyte Additive | An essential ingredient for both Low Voltage and CLASSIC hard coat rectification, SANFRAN® is a fully organic, non-toxic, and RoHS compliant additive to the electrolyte chemistry in Sulfuric Acid Anodizing that protects the aluminum from burning while reducing energy consumption. Used at 5% concentration of the electrolyte volume. |
| SANFORD HARDLUBE™ | TEFLON / PTFE Impregnate | Used as part of the sealing process for Sulfuric Acid Anodizing, HARDLUBE™ reduces the coefficient of friction on the coating surface and provides for easier release as well as increases corrosion resistance. |
| ANTI-FOAMER | Sulfuric Electrolyte Additive | Our anti-foamer solution dramatically suppresses foam in the electrolyte tank without impairing coating properties. |
| CRYSTANT | Conversion Chemistry | Accelerator for phase change conversion for the MICRALOX® process. |
| MICROSEED | Conversion Chemistry | Specially formulated chemical to seed and impregnate during the MICRALOX® process. |
