This approval follows rigorous testing conducted by NAVTEC using specific steps to prove its corrosion resistance, paint adhesion, and shelf life capabilities. According to the company, Aluminescent is the only powdered hex-free conversion coating for aluminum listed on the Qualified Products List for MIL-DTL 5541F, class 1A and 3. The chromate is a replacement for yellow or clear hexavalent chromates and is designed to provide excellent corrosion protection at low cost and minimum control. It can be applied by dip, spray, brush, swab or roll coating; requires no electrical current, cooling or exhaust; and is suitable for both wrought and cast aluminum alloys.
