Duraseal 410

Product description

Duraseal 410 is liquid blended product for the hot water
sealing of anodized aluminum.

Features

  •  Duraseal 410 can be diluted with water at low ratio
    percentage depending upon the electrolytic color in
    operation.
  •  Duraseal 410 doesn’t coagulate due to carried over
    foreign salts or thermally cracked at the heating plates.
  •  Heavy metal ions from the coloring bath will not
    influence the effectiveness of sealing bath.

Application

  • Duraseal 410 is used as an additive to the hot water sealing bath for the prevention of sealing smudge during
    the sealing process.

Operating Parameters

Concentration(%w/v)                0.1 to 0.3
Temperature oC              95 to 100
pH           to be maintained at 5.8
Time               1 – 2 min/micron deposit

Initial Preparation

  •  Duraseal 410 is added at the rate of 1 to 3 g / lit of
    operative volume of bath.
  •  Concentration of bath largely depends upon the
    shade of color in production.

Precautions

  •  Phosphate, silicates and fluorides are considered as
    sealing poisons and should be avoided.
  •  Carry over from alkaline or acidic bath will upset the
    pH of sealing bath, it should be checked regularly
    and controlled as much as possible.
  •  Uncontrolled bath will produce bloom on the work
    piece. Preparation of over concentrated bath should be
    avoided.
  •  Addition of 1.5 to 2 gm s/lit of Nickel acetate will help
    to avoid bloom.
  •  Bath circulation to be maintained all the time.
  •  Sealing bath should be change periodically
