VANCHEM and Jena Industries form partnership to implement new aluminum pretreatment line at METALUMEN in Guelph, Ontario

 

 

 

The Challenge:

To design and implement a new 6-stage pre-treatment line for aluminum fixtures at Metalumen in Guelph, Ontario featuring ADVANTECH Zirconium pretreatments.

 

The Results:

ADVANTECH Zirconium went up against Henkel and Chemetal pretreatments with the goal being the AAMA 2605 specification and easily outperformed the competition.

The pre-treatment process is ‘phosphate-free’ and designed to go directly to the sewer system.

 

 

 

Metalumen has been running with ‘phosphate-free’ ADVANTECH Zirconium since May 2018 and to date is achieving excellent results.
