Anyone have a full spec on CorCoat 5803?





2005

I have been tasked with finding an alternative for Alodine 1200 and 1500 (thank you Europe). We are a communications company and we coat ALL our products with Alodine as either a pre-paint process or as a stand alone finish. My search has lead me to Corcoat 5803 as an alternative but I cannot find any additional information on the coating. I understand it meets MIL spec but has not been approved and so my question is 2 fold:

1. Obviously, does anyone have detail specifications on the plating performance (wear, is it electrically insulating or not, etc.)

2. If the plating conforms with the European Directive but has not been MIl spec approved, under what guidelines is this acceptable? even though it has not been approved by our (U.S) military specification.

As the hex.-Cr Corcoat on QPL-81706 is manufactured for Coral by Macdermid, perhaps you should also consider MacDermid's non-hex. Iridite NCP: macdermid.com/industrial/aluminum.html

An applicable standard is ASTM B921 [affil link]-02 "Standard Specification for Non-hexavalent Chromium Conversion Coatings on Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys." www.astm.org

I am unaware of an ISO non-hexavalent chromium standard per se. Perhaps require performance to ISO 10546 (1993) "CHEMICAL CONVERSION COATINGS - RINSED AND NON-RINSED CHROMATE CONVERSION COATINGS ON ALUMINIUM AND ALUMINIUM ALLOYS."
