With an aluminum content of 100-150 g/l this treatment imparts a uniform, matt, decorative appearance to the aluminum parts. Minor surface imperfections are usually completely or almost completely covered
  • prevents the formation and deposition of aluminate on the walls of the vessels and heating coils
