If you’re looking for a clean and easy method of repairing aerospace conversion coatings, try BONDERITE® M-CR 1132 AERO. This dry-in-place hex-chrome conversion coating pen is easy to use and specifically designed to save labor, material, and time. It requires no rinsing, provides excellent paint adhesion and painted corrosion resistance, and will leave a golden protective coating on clean, oxide-free aluminum and aluminum alloy surfaces. When handled as directed, it reduces worker contact to chromating solutions and waste, such as rinse water generated from a chromating process. It contains enough solution to treat up to 4.6 sq. m (50 sq. ft.) and is compatible with most metals, including aluminum, ferrous and galvanized substrates.

MIL-DTL-5541 is the process specification for chemical conversion coatings on aluminum and aluminum alloys. This specification references the qualified products list (QPL) on MIL-DTL-81706, which lists both BONDERITE M-CR 1132 AERO and BONDERITE M-CR 871 AERO. Henkel certifies both products to MIL-DTL-81706B.
BONDERITE M-CR 1132 AERO is a hexavalent chrome chemical conversion coating and BONDERITE M-CR 871 AERO is a trivalent chrome chemical conversion coating. BONDERITE M-CR 1132 AERO leaves an apparent yellow gold coating after application and BONDERITE M-CR 871 AERO leaves a clear iridescent coating after application. Performance of both coatings meets the same corrosion protection and paint adhesion requirements per MIL-DTL-81706B.
