BONDERITE C-IC ALDOX
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Chromate-Free Aluminum Deoxidizing and Desmutting
- Boeing BAC 5765 Qualification
- Ambient Spray or Immersion Processing
Product Description
TURCO® ALDOX V (also known as BONDERITE C-IC ALDOX) is a dark brown, chromate-free liquid formulated to deoxidize, desmut, and lightly etch aluminum alloys. It is ideal for preparing alloys that require low surface resistance prior to anodizing, conversion coating, bonding, or welding.
Key features
- Aerospace approved: Meets stringent Boeing BAC 5765 specifications for aerospace surface preparation.
- Chromate-free formulation: Safely deoxidizes and desmuts without the use of chromates while remaining readily soluble in water.
- Adjustable and versatile: Effective at ambient temperatures in both spray and immersion systems, with easily adjustable etch rates to meet specific requirements.
Applications / Suitable for
- Deoxidizing, desmutting, and lightly etching aluminum alloys.
- Surface preparation prior to anodizing, conversion coating, bonding, or welding.
- Spray and immersion processing systems.
