POST-TREATMENT FOR ANODIZED ALUMINUM

摘要

Composition for post-treating anodized aluminum and aluminum alloys and the process for using said composition to improve the corrosionresistance, abrasion, and adhesion bonding properties of the anodized aluminum and its alloys. The composition comprises an acidic aqueous solution having a pH ranging from about 2.5 to 4.5 containing effective amounts of trivalent chromium salts, alkali metal hexafluorozirconates, an alkali metal fluoro-compound e.g. fluoroborates and/or fluorosilicates, and effective amounts of water soluble thickeners and surfactants.
