SurTec 650 & Surtech 650V Conversion Coating

What is SurTec 650 & Surtech 650V Conversion Coating?

SurTec 650 is an advanced chromium-free chemical conversion coating for aluminium and its alloys. It forms a thin, protective layer that resists corrosion while remaining fully conductive — a modern alternative to coatings like Iridite or Alochrom.

Where SurTec 650 & Surtech 650V Conversion Coating excels

Corrosion Protection

Excellent resistance to oxidation and environmental exposure.

Chromium-Free

Uses trivalent (Cr³⁺) chemistry — fully RoHS and REACH compliant.

Conductive

Maintains low electrical resistance, ideal for electronic and bonding applications.

Thin & Precise

Adds virtually no thickness, preserving tight tolerances.

Paint & Adhesive Base

Excellent primer for paints, powder coatings, and adhesives.

Finish

650 gives a clear to faint iridescent appearance while 650V gives a visual indication in the form of a slight hue.

Eco & Safety Notes

Chromate-free/RoHS-compliant
