Revolutionary Corrosion-Resistant Base Coating for Light Metals

Rocky Hill, Conn. - April 1, 2008... For light metal substrates, Henkel Corporation has developed a revolutionary multifunctional base coating, Alodine(R) EC2(TM) ElectroCeramic Coating, designed to provide exceptional chemical, corrosion, temperature and abrasion resistance while reducing parts processing costs. This high temperature-resistant coating is designed to extend the life of parts exposed to harsh operating conditions, delivering titanium ceramic toughness and durability on lower cost substrates.

Based on titanium electrodeposited oxides, Alodine(R) EC2(TM) readily coats aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium, and titanium alloys, as well as aluminized, aluminum-plated and IVD aluminum substrate. The coating is also suitable for aluminized ferrous materials. This breakthrough base coating can exponentially improve the corrosion resistance and performance of marine engines, automotive powertrain and components, appliances, cookware, and a variety of other industrial parts exposed to moisture, fuel, oil and other environmental contaminants.

Alodine(R) EC2(TM) offers a hardness of 800 vickers, yet is extremely flexible. The coating provides an excellent base for paints, adhesives, sealants and thermal spray coatings. With this product, traditional cleaning and shot blast preparation are no longer required prior to thermal spray application. Alodine(R) EC2(TM) dramatically improves the adhesion of sprayed materials.
