PREKOTE© SURFACE PRETREATMENT

PreKote© a simple procedure that replaces the use of traditional chromate conversion coatings and the need for acide etches, solvent washes and other toxic processes. Small aircraft shops have also used PreKote© to successfully replace the use of chromate conversion coating pens for smaller repair areas. By eliminating the need for these additional processes, paint preparation time and cost can be reduced by up to 40%.

Approved for use by the Boeing Commercial Aerospace Group, Department of Defense and currently flying over 1,500 United States Air Force aircraft, PreKote© has proven consistent results with a variety of paints and primers. PreKote© can be used on a wide range of surfaces including aluminum, steel, magnesium, titanium, CRES, galvanized, composite and plastic surfaces.

Environmental, Health & Safety Reason for Using PreKote
The use of PreKote© does not trigger categorical industrial user status under the Environmental Protection Agency's metal Finishing effluent guidelines. This makes PreKote© easy to dispose.

PreKote© use also eliminates the need for forced air containment suits which are required by OSHA when using traditional chromate conversion coatings. Simply rain gear and goggles/face shield are all that is required.
