This protective treatment is applicable only on the
aluminium and its alloys.
It is ideal as a pre-varnishing film.
Because of its chrome-aluminium oxides
and salts, the chromate film enables the items to resist
against the corrosive agents and ensures also a good
corrosion-proof against some aggressive chemical agents
e.g. the concentrated nitric acid.
It concerns the aluminium surface
converting to a gold-yellowish mixed aluminium chromate
and oxides.
It preserves the electric conductivity
of the item and it gives rise a good looking to the
whole surface.
