Solgel conversion products are aqueous solutions of zirconium salts activated by an organo-silicon compound, they are particularly effective for surface preparation prior to adhesive bonding.
SOCOGEL B0102 performances comply with current aeronautical requirements and are an interesting alternative to anodizing technologies (chromic, sulphuric...) that are recognised as highly harmful for workers (classification R45: may cause cancer) and which generate increasing waste treatment costs (baths, effluents). SOCOGEL B0102 is more economical in terms of operating costs and effluent treatment. No rinsing is required after application. The product can be dried at ambient temperature.
