Light Metal Finishes

From conventional processes to tailor-made solutions, our light metals portfolio has what it takes to optimize the performance and appearance of even the most complex aluminum alloys. 

Surface Conditioning

We provide a broad array of surface conditioning products that deliver surface cleanliness for all applications. The desired surface gloss achieved via brightening or etching additives ranges from highly alkaline to highly acidic. Deoxidizing agents remove any smut from the surface, even on difficult alloys (including castings), providing a suitable surface for consequent anodizing or conversion coating processes.
