Your Zero-Risk Source For Metallurgy Products

MacDermid Industrial Solutions, a leading innovator in surface conditioning technology, is pleased to offer engineers worldwide a complete line of all-liquid, production-reliable Metallurgy pretreatment products that are specifically formulated to satisfy any metal fabrication, industrial coating and aluminium treatment application in use today. We have made it our mission to not only offer the right portfolio of products, but to provide customers with a completely fresh approach to fulfilling their short- and long-term needs: the willingness and ability to understand their specific application requirements and recommend customized, chemically designed solutions that consistently work the first time installed; with zero trial-and-error grace period. With MacDermid Metallurgy products, there are no one-size fits all solutions, as each application has its own in-line requirements. Our portfolio has been developed to satisfy an array of traditional pretreatment needs, and because we are chemists at heart, each can be modified or entirely reconfigured according to a customer's specific need, including providing environmentally acceptable alternatives that meet regulatory compliance. Whatever the end result, our solutions are always easy to use and ensure low operating costs.

Reliability And Productivity At Every Level

What separates MacDermid's line of Metallurgy products from competitive options is our strict adherence to customer demand for increased production reliability, process life and overall productivity. Therefore, every product is specifically formulated to tolerate extreme conditions, both in process efficiency and duration. Understanding that long bath life is the key to customer productivity, we engineer each product to also withstand contamination, either by absorption or removal altogether, which releases customers from repeat status analysis, freeing them up to manage other operations. No matter what your needs are, MacDermid can provide the pretreatment solution you can trust. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Our applications expertise covers all pretreatment products in the following areas. If you have a unique need, we will customize a zero-risk solution to your exact specifications.

Metal Fabrications
An array of products for making tubes and wires, cold forming and wear-resistance materials that remove oils, cutting fluids and greases prior to further processing, finishing or shipping; appropriate for continuous or batch mode. Also Inter Operational Cleaning solutions for bulk or continuous cleaning of machined parts and components, often incorporating corrosion inhibitors to aide storage.

Aluminium Treatments
Non-chrome pre-paint systems engineered to replace older chrome-based products while maintaining their typical advantages. Our innovative Iridite range offers superior corrosion performance and paint adhesion without toxic materials, while retaining electrical contact performance. Iridite NCP offers the light metals industry the truly reliable way of eliminating Hex Chrome and retaining its functionality and performance. Simple to apply, easy to use and effective in operation, Iridite NCP offers unique technical and performance benefits for aluminium with or without paint. The coating can be applied in most existing equipment and outperforms Hex Chrome in almost all testing. Our Oxidite range of anodizing materials completes the most comprehensive range of light metal treatment systems available today, and all are globally supported by a company with a history of proven innovation and service.

Industrial Coatings
A full line of pretreatment processes for surface preparation prior to powder coating and painting, and for cleaning ferrous and non ferrous metals to ensure maximum adhesion and performance. Included are systems for Galvanizing that operate in high volume and batch-type applications, and for Reel to Reel that operate in high speed continuous cleaning/painting lines.
