BONDERITE M-FE HMF-1080
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Heavy-Metal-Free Multi-Metal Clean/Phosphate Process
- Improved Paint Adhesion and Corrosion Resistance
- Multi-Metal Spray-Tunnel Pretreatment
Product Description
BONDERITE® M-FE HMF-1080 is a heavy metal-free liquid iron phosphate pretreatment that simultaneously cleans and forms an amorphous iron phosphate conversion coating on steel, zinc-coated steels, and aluminum. Designed primarily for spray application in treatment tunnels, it provides excellent surface preparation prior to painting while improving corrosion resistance and paint adhesion across mixed-metal production lines.
Key Features
- Simultaneously degreases and phosphates metal surfaces in a single process.
- Heavy metal-free (HMF) formulation suitable for multi-metal treatment.
- Produces a dense, adherent amorphous iron phosphate coating for improved paint adhesion.
- Suitable for steel, galvanized steel, electrogalvanized steel, and aluminum.
- Designed primarily for spray application in industrial pretreatment tunnels.
Applications / Suitable for
- Steel
- Electrogalvanized steel
- Galvanized steel
- Aluminum
- Multi-metal pretreatment lines
- Pre-paint surface preparation
- Industrial spray pretreatment tunnels
