Almax specializes in manufacturing aluminum surface treatment agent and special printing ink. We have been researching the surface treatment agent,

which had to depend on import for 30 years, and developed import substitute products. We believe we contributed in improving quality and cost reduction of industries,

e.g. communication equipment, electronics, household appliances, sporting goods, cosmetics caps, kitchen appliance, automobile components, furniture,

and accessories parts. Almax Co., Ltd. is committed to grow and success together with the aluminum industry.

Thank you.

1. The product does not use nitric acid (HNO3) and does not cause harmful gas, thereby improves working environment.

2. The liquid is easy to manage and there is no aging.

3. There is little variation in liquid composition and thus can achieve a uniform surface.

4. The product enables automation, reduces failure rate as well as costs.

Feature

DIA BRIGHT #806Aluminum Special Semi-gloss Chemical Polishing LiquidDIA BRIGHT # 806 - Aluminum Special Chemical-Polishing Abrasive was developed by strong demand of the aluminum surface treatment industry and it does not require any additional nitric acid (HNO3). This is an innovative semi-polishing abrasive liquid that completely solves environmental pollution in workplace caused by gas and the processing liquid does not require special management technique. It only needs additional undiluted solution.

Feature

DIA BRIGHT N2Chemical polishing liquid for aluminum and aluminum alloyDIA BRIGHT N2 is high-gloss phosphoric acid nitrate-based chemical polishing agent. It is mixed with special ingredients and has the following features.

It is effective for chemical polishing of all aluminum alloys other than pure aluminum silicon alloy.

Just add a small amount of nitric acid to undiluted solution.

The allowable amount of dissolved aluminum is large and thus, its shelf life is long and economical.

1. Special polishing equivalent to electrolytic polishing can be obtained.

2. The liquid management is extremely simple.

3. Its long shelf life provides an economic advantage.

4. Provides an economic advantage as there is little liquid attached to abrasive surfaces.

1. A simple chemical treatment can be used to obtain the same surface as a mechanical treatment. The advantage is that the mechanical and chemical polishing processes can be carried out at the same time, shortening the process and enabling anodizing lines and a coherent working system.

2. Double surface effect can be obtained by applying the surface with resist ink or masking agent and double surface treatment.

3. There is no irritating gas generation.

4. With the immersion process, it is possible to easily process products that are mechanically impossible, e.g. uneven surfaces and inner sheets.

5. Long-life cycle of the liquid and simple management allow continuous operation.

Dia SD C,DSand blast forming chemical treatment agentWith DIA SD liquid, shapes obtainable from costly mechanical process (sand blast) can be achieved by a simple chemical immersion process. A chemical treatment followed by a sand blast treatment can remove roller dice marks on the surface and small grooves and achieve glossy surfaces.

Anodic rinse treatmentThe film liquid neutralizer is a dyeing pretreatment agent. It prevents dyeing defects caused by the acid emitted from fine grooves or thread grooves of anodized products, thereby improving the leveling of colored dyes.

1. Prevents staining or star-shaped stain on the blind holes or fine grooves.

2. Prevents stains and poor dyeing caused by inadequate washing.

3. Improves the leveling.

4. Reduces color fluctuation when dyeing.

5. Significantly improves the stainability of alloying agents otherwise difficult to dye uniformly.

DIA SR 100DIA SIR 100 is a pre-treatment agent carried out prior to nickel high-temperature sealing. The agent is used for the purpose of improving corrosion resistance (alkali resistance, salt water resistance) of aluminum anodized products.

1. Improves the sealing quality of anodized films as well as corrosion resistance, and facilitates weather resistance tests.

2. No staining of colored products.

3. No additional heating costs as the operation is performed at room temperature.

DIA PAT (Post-Anodic Treatment)Post-treatment Agent of Nickel-type SealingDIA-PAT removes nickel hydroxide films generated during the sealing process of aluminum anodic oxidation coating and nickel acetate-based sealing bath. It is also a post-treatment product that prevents anodic oxidation surface nickel detection by immobilizing as a special chelating component.

1. Nickel-type acetate chemical prevents elution of nickel components caused by nickel hydrate after sealing.

2. The product is safety to use as it does not affect anodized films.

3. Prevents device anomalies caused by particle dropout from the inner surface of anodized precision electronic equipment.

4. With the immersion process, it is possible to easily process products that are mechanically impossible, e.g. uneven surfaces and inner sheets.

5. The product reduces environmental burden as it contains no heavy metals, phosphorus, and nitrate nitrogen.
