Metal surface treatment
AD Chemicals, a division of AD International, manufactures and
supplies a wide range of metal surface pre-treatment chemicals used
in batch process, spray, bath and cascade application systems.
Pre-treatment is an essential process on aluminum,
hot dip galvanized steel, steel and multi-metals products
that are coated or anodized to provide a durable and
attractive finish.
Pre-treatments have a huge range of requirements on a
complex combination of substrate forms and materials.
This drives the need for close working relationships,
consultation, testing and pilot line experimentation.
AD and its constituent businesses profit from extensive
R&D facilities, manned by highly qualified and experi-
enced staff, that drive new and innovative solutions
as well as ensuring that continuous improvements
are made to products in production.
AD Chemicals draws knowledge and expertise from
across the range of AD International disciplines to
provide customers with the best possible advice
from a leader in its field. This results in robust and
reliable processes that are efficient and cost effective.
Many surface treatment operations require certification
by industry organizations, especially when applied to
new and technically driven products. Customers have
come to rely on AD Chemicals to assist in or lead the
certification process.
AD Chemicals’ surface treatment solutions meet
the QUALICOAT / GSB quality label which is an
international organization committed to maintaining
and promoting the quality of coating on aluminium
and its alloys.
