-----Alochrome 1200 cleaning
Can a panel which has been Alochromed (1200) and had adhesive attached to it be stripped and cleaned effectively without damaging the finish? I have just started using Alochrome 1200 on an Aluminium panel coating required for a specific customer. Once we have the panels made I have several value added operations to complete before shipping. Currently if there is a problem with one of these value added operations and the panel needs stripping it means that the panels are useless for further use, thus increasing the expense of the job.

More information would be required to give a meaningful answer to this question, i.e. What type of adhesive? What are the additional opps that you mention?
The Alocrom finish will withstand some solvents such as industrial meths or methyl ethyl ketone ⇦ on

without any appreciable damage. However it will not cope with abrasion, acids or excessive heat without being damaged.
