White Alimite - What Is It?
A colleague encountered the term "white alimite" as a reference for a finish process. I've never encountered it and my search engines came up empty. Does anyone know anything about it?

It would help to know where he encountered it--for example whether is was for aluminum or another metal. I suspect it's just a misspelling of the very well known term "alumite", which is the subject of letter 6319.
