Conductivity of Alodine coating

I am looking for the thermal conductivity properties of Alodine coating on aluminum.

The important property of a chromate coating is that electrical and thermal conductivity remain constant over time since white rusting is retarded.

I am looking for the same information. Have you had any luck finding the thermal properties of Alodie coatings?

I am looking also for the same information. Any of you found any information on the thermal properties of Alodine coatings?

Do not overlook the effects of radiation, changes can effect the amount of heat absorbed and emitted. And also the amount of convection relative to conduction can also be looked at to see if the change in conductivity is important or not.
