Alodine Process

Alodine treatments play a crucial role in protecting aluminum surfaces. All Alodine treatments work in a similar manner by creating a chemical film protective barrier.

We listed the different brand names for this similar process because many customers still refer to their coating needs by the brand name, like “Henkel Alodine”. Henkel Alodine is a trademarked brand name of a chemical film (chem-film) treatment process used for aluminum to provide corrosion protection and enhance surface preparation for paint and adhesives.

Here are some key details about a few others, commonly referred to by their brands, for Alodine products:
