Duraseal 450 /450A

Product description

Duraseal 450 and Duraseal 450A are dual special
products for the cold saturation sealing of anodized
aluminum surfaces.

Features

  •  Duraseal 450/450A reduce the treatment time and
    saves energy.
  • Duraseal 450/450A prevents the discoloration of color
    after anodizing and eliminates greenish bloom of
    anodized surface.
  •  Duraseal 450/450A since it has concentrate
    consistent; it is suitable for light to dark color
    saturation.

Application

  • Duraseal 450/450A products are specially formulated
    products for the cold impregnation of anodized aluminum
    surfaces at low temperature. Compared to hot water sealing, the cold process reduces the cost of heating and
    improves color shades.

Operating Parameters

Duraseal 450 Conc.     8 -12 lit/ 1000 lit
Duraseal450A Conc.          3 – 4 lit/ 1000 lit
Temperature           28 – 30 oC

     25 – 35 oC preferably
Time:       0.8 – 1.20 min/μm
pH               6.0 ± 0.5 *

Initial Preparation

  •  Add 8 to 12 lit of Duraseal 450 per 1000 lit of
    operating volume.
  • Add 3 to 4 lit of Duraseal 450A per 1000 lit of
    operating volume.

Precautions

  • Prior and after the impregnation process DI
    water is used. Short rinse with 60 – 80oC hot
    water rinsing tank enables fast drying of the
    parts.
