American Trim has published a new white paper, The Principle of Protection. The paper documents a special coating for aluminum, Alodine®EC²™. Alodine® EC2™ was developed by the Henkel Corporation as a protective pretreatment system for aluminum substrates exposed to extreme environments. This new ElectroCeramic coating offers exciting potentials in the areas of corrosion, heat, and abrasion protection.
