• Additive
• Cleaners
• Deoxidizers
• Dyes
• Etchants
• Sealants

Aluminum Anodizing Chemistry - Specialty Additive

METALAST AA-200 is a proprietary aluminum anodizing, specialty chemical additive. AA-200 is a combination of organic monomers specially formulated to prevent the processed part from burning during the aluminum anodizing stage. Typically a nickel acetate seal would follow this stage, producing a high quality, uniform oxide and improved throughput. AA-200 is another all product RoHS compliant specialty chemical that meets OSHA regulations and is available to the metal finishing industry. As the patent holder and only chemical supplier of the AA-200, METALAST is pleased to offer the next generation of aluminum anodizing additives to the metal finishing industry.

METALAST TCP-HF - Chromate Conversion and Anodizing Seal Specialty Chemistry

METALAST TCP-HF is an environmentally safe and superior trivalent chromate chemical alternative to hexavalent chromates. This “green” trivalent chromate chemical, along with other aluminum anodizing products, is one of the trademarked products of METALAST International, LLC and can only be purchased through METALAST or its network of authorized distributors and chemical suppliers.

METALAST TCP-HF is an RoHS compliant product, which meets the MIL-C-5541 (now referred to as MIL-DTL-5541) and MIL-DTL-81706B, OSHA regulations and the hex European Union ELV directive. METALAST TCP-HF is QPL approved (May 2006) and is the only viable and superior performing trivalent chromate and RoHS compliant hex substitute available to the aluminum anodizing and metal finishing industry. This trivalent chromate chemical is environmentally safe and a superior performing alternative to hexavalent chromates that are now being banned globally by regulations such as the RoHS, WEEE, ELV and the OSHA regulation PEL. This trivalent chromate product is user friendly and can be applied at room temperature with no odor with a pH close to neutral.

• METALAST TCP-HF EPA
  
  METALAST TCP-HF EPA (Extended Protection Additive) is an environmentally safe and superior trivalent chromate chemical additive used in conjunction with METALAST TCP-HF, primarily as an anti-corrosion enhancement agent in chromate conversion applications.
  
  Like other METALAST RoHS compliant products, METALAST TCP-HF EPA meets the MIL-C-5541 (now referred to as MIL-DTL-5541) and MIL-DTL-81706B, OSHA regulations and the hex European Union ELV directive. METALAST TCP-HF EPA is QPL approved (October 2007) and together with METALAST TCP-HF EPA provides the highest level of corrosion performance. METALAST TCP-HF EPA is only available through METALAST or its network of authorized distributors and chemical suppliers.

METALAST TCP-HF SP

METALAST TCP-HF SP has been optimized for spray applications and effective as a pre-paint/powder coat anti-corrosive chemical.

METALAST TCP-HF SP is an environmentally safe and superior trivalent chromate chemical alternative to hexavalent chromates. This “green” trivalent chromate chemical, along with other aluminum anodizing products, is one of the trademarked products of METALAST International, LLC and can only be purchased through METALAST or its network of authorized distributors and chemical suppliers.

METALAST TCP-NP - Chromium Conversion and Anodizing Seal Specialty Chemistry

METALAST TCP-NP  (no prep) is an environmentally friendly trivalent chromium chemical, which meets all the regulations and mandates that have banned certain hazardous chemicals, including hexavalent chromium while meeting key military performance specifications. 

Although similar to other METALAST chromate conversion products, such as METALAST TCP-HF, METALAST TCP-NP has some distinguishing features and benefits.  For example, METALAST TCP-NP does not require excessive pre-treatment, in fact, only a cleaning step is used in the processing of parts (no deoxidizer or etchant). 

METALAST TCP-NP is a trivalent chromium chemical conversion coating for aluminum alloys, magnesium and zinc alloys, as well as a sealer for anodized aluminum. It produces a protective coating on metal, which minimizes corrosion as well as improves adhesive bonding capabilities of the surface.

METALAST CC-600 Additive

METALAST CC-600 Additive is now available as a simple additive to the METALAST TCP-HF and METALAST TCP-NP processing tank. The CC-600 Additive leaves an easily identifiable blue color to the finished part, ensuring those in quality control that the environmentally friendly and RoHS compliant chemical METALAST TCP-HF was applied to their parts.
