Alodine 1200S VS. 1132


Is there a difference in the 1132 versus the 1200S I believe they are still under the same spec is this true?

Both are listed on QPL-81706.
1200S is the mainstay product. Approved for both Class 1A (by immersion, spray & brush) and Class 3 (immersion).
1132, applied via the TOUCH-N-PREP® applicator pen, is only approved for Class 1A. However, the product bulletin (newer than the 2002 QPL update) also describes Class 3 coatings.

Chemistries differ, so don't expect a perfect color match.
