Henkel - BONDERITE-M-CR1001-AERO (1-Usqt-Can)

Additional Product Information

Overview

BONDERITE M-CR 1001 AERO is a chromic acid-based, nonflammable coating for aluminum and its alloys, forming a clear chrome conversion layer that integrates with the metal surface. Widely used in aviation and MRO operations, it provides superior corrosion resistance and an ideal substrate for paint adhesion. Maintenance and repair teams rely on it to retain the natural silver-white finish of aluminum while ensuring long-lasting protective performance.
