Development of a Novel Hexavalent-Chromium-Free Aluminum Sacrificial Paint
Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen, repro-toxin, and mutagen. Its elimination is of high importance to the aerospace industry, which has struggled to find high performing alternatives. Legacy aluminum sacrificial paints have traditionally utilized hexavalent chromium to prevent corrosion and coatings which are equal to or better than have been difficult. This first paper discusses the novel process from the supplier point-of-view.
