Paint Pre-Treatments

Paint or Powder Coated Finishes depend on the correct pre-treatment for the highest adhesionand corrosion resistance. The MacDermid pre-treatment range includes cleaners for removing soils, aluminum conversion coatings, zinc phosphates and sealants.

To meet RoHS, WEEE and EOLV directives, our processes include Qualicoat and GSB approved chrome free systems. For multi-metal use we have cleaner phosphate systems which can be teamed with high-performance dry in place final seals to provide reliable, cost-effective pre-treatment for painting both steel and light alloys. These can be applied by immersion or spray depending on the application.

The table below outlines the best product choice depending on base metal, soil type, and application method. Our experienced technical service team can are always available to discuss your specific cleaning needs and requirements.
