What is aluminum surface treatment and coating technology?

Aluminum is lightweight and easy to process, making it suitable for various components. We will introduce surface treatments and coatings that can add properties to the aluminum surface.

■What is the reason for needing a surface on aluminum? Aluminum is lightweight, resistant to rust, has high conductivity for electricity and heat, and can be easily shaped. It reflects light and heat, is not affected by magnetic fields, and its surface has a characteristic that makes it less prone to rust due to an oxide film. However, in certain environments, it can corrode, and when used as machine parts, properties such as slip resistance and wear resistance are required. 【Types of Aluminum Surface Treatment and Coating】 - Anodizing - Sandblasting / Bead blasting - Plating - Teflon coating There are methods like the above to modify the surface of aluminum. Generally, they perform adequately, but if you want to further enhance durability, slip resistance, and non-stick properties, we will introduce a coating that can meet such demands. 'Bicoat,' with a coating hardness of HV700-900 and the lubricating properties of fluororesin, combines wear resistance, slip resistance, and non-stick properties, making it recommended for those who are not satisfied with conventional aluminum surface treatments and coatings. *You can download product information for 'Bicoat(R)' in PDF format.

basic information

■What is "Bicoat"? The ultra-durable fluorine-based organic coating "Bicoat" is a composite organic coating system that combines inorganic materials with high hardness, such as metals, ceramics, and chemical conversion coatings, with organic materials that excel in lubricity and release properties, such as fluororesins, siloxane resins, and super engineering plastics. It can be safely used in molds that require micron-level dimensional precision, providing reliable release properties. 【Features】 ■ High hardness and scratch resistance ■ High dimensional stability ■ Excellent non-stick properties ■ Long lifespan ■ Excellent pressure resistance ■ Bicoat achieves both "toughness" and "non-stick properties" on the coating surface ■ Safe for use in molds requiring micron-level dimensional precision *For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
