Information
The Oakite?160 process from Chemetall is a tried and tested chemical designed to clean and etch aluminium substrate surfaces, removing oxides and other contaminants that would interfere with bonding or coating. In the aerospace industry, correct substrate preparation is critical, especially for adhesives and coatings on aluminium alloys or composite metal joints. The use of a defined etchant such as Oakite?160 forms part of the process sequence: cleaning, etch/activate, rinse, conversion, coating. This ensures high adhesion, corrosion protection and quality of finish.
