Chemical Film Specifications (Non-RoHS) & (RoHS) Plating:
The IRIDITE NCP, Non-Chrome Passivate has been developed in
response to the ELV, RoHS and WEEE directives. The IRIDITE NCP
does not contain Lead, Cadmium, Chromium (hexavalent or
trivalent), Mercury or PBB / PBDE compounds.
IRIDITE NCP is an environmentally friendly chemical process that produces a protective conversion coating on aluminum and its alloys. The coating can be used as a final finish or can also serve as a base for paints, high performance topcoats, powder coat, lacquers, or as a base for rubber bonding.
Features:
- Elimination of the use of hazardous hexavalent and trivalent chromium.
- Provides corrosion protection that rivals conventional chromate conversion coatings when tested in accordance with ASTM B 117.
- The conversion coating passes the requirement of Mil-DTL-5541 Type II Class 3 and Mil-DTL-81706.
- Wide operating range for time, temperature and concentration.
- Provides excellent primer or paint base, or for other subsequent organic treatments when tested in accordance with ASTM D 3359.
- No aging or curing required before topcoat application.
- Baking of treated parts does not affect the coating as with traditional yellow chromates.
- Rinsing the IRIDITE NCP coated aluminum in hot water does not compromise the corrosion resistance of the coating.
- Reduced waste treatment costs when compared to chromates.
