Within the metal coating, engraving, and heat treating industry; hazardous chemicals are used routinely. To treat aluminum, in particular, chromate conversion coatings are preferred and almost exclusively used to treat for corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and paint adhesion. The two most common chemicals used for chromate conversion coatings are hexavalent and trivalent chromate; both are classified as extremely hazardous. It is both dangerous to handle these chemicals and costly to dispose of them. Cobare’s SC-49 is revolutionarily different. The SC-49 coating process is both non-hazardous and non-toxic while implementation costs are nominal. Cobare’s environmentally safe solution will greatly reduce, and possibly eliminate, costs associated with chromates, their disposal, and workers’ exposure to hazardous chemicals for organizations worldwide.

Cobare has the answer to the chromate conversion crisis.
