Surface treatment with SurTec 650 creates a chromium(VI)-free passivation that provides a conversion layer with optimum corrosion protection and low electrical contact resistance. This layer also serves as an ideal primer for paints and adhesives.
The test values achieved meet the coating standards required by SurTec. The coating process was analyzed and optimized in detail in the test facility of the BWB-Betschart AG development laboratory to ensure maximum efficiency and outstanding results.
The qualification gives us the opportunity to offer our customers in the aerospace industry, as well as in all other industries, a future-proof process. We are proud to offer SurTec 650, a tri-chrome passivation for aluminum that meets the highest quality standards.
