Al Surface Treatment Agent

PEROXENE

Smut Remover

Aluminum and its alloy generate large amount of smut when oxidized or etched if there are other metal contents inside, and the smut adheres to the metal surface and make it blackish. If oxidizing power from nitric acid is low, smut is not removed completely and remains on the surface. Consequentially, it decreases adhesion in plating and filming process.

PEROXENE solves these problems and provides excellent desmutting effects which elevate the adhesion of chromate and final plating layer.
