Product Description
BONDERITE® M-ED 1000 AERO is a liquid nickel acetate-based anodizing seal additive for clear, integral, and two-step electrolytically colored anodized aluminum. The sealing process improves corrosion resistance by penetrating and sealing the pores of the anodic film, while helping reduce smut, powdering, and yellowing commonly associated with anodizing seal operations. It is suitable for commercial and selected military sealing specifications.
