chemical films
Chemical films provide a conversion coating that enhances corrosion resistance, improves adhesion for paints/coatings, and extends the lifespan of metal components.
Chemical Films for Metal Components
Providing Metal Finishing Services in CT Since 1950
Chemical films are essential for enhancing the durability and performance of metal surfaces, particularly aluminum. These conversion coatings provide superior corrosion resistance, improve adhesion for paints and sealants, and maintain the electrical conductivity of components.At Bass Plating, we specialize in high-quality chemical film applications, offering both traditional and environmentally friendly options to meet industry standards for reliability, protection, and compliance.
What Is a Chemical Film?
A chemical film, also known as a conversion coating, is a protective layer applied to metal surfaces through a controlled chemical reaction. This process alters the surface properties of metals—especially aluminum—to enhance corrosion resistance and improve paint or adhesive bonding. Chemical films are available in clear or yellow chromate finishes, including ROHS-compliant options that address today’s environmental and regulatory demands.

Our chemical films Process
The metal components are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and oxidation, ensuring a uniform and effective film application.
The parts are immersed in or sprayed with a chemical solution that reacts with the metal surface to form a protective conversion coating.
Excess chemicals are carefully rinsed away, and the surface is neutralized to ensure stability and prevent unwanted reactions.
The coated components are dried and, if necessary, cured to enhance adhesion, corrosion resistance, and overall durability.
Each part is inspected to ensure proper coating thickness and coverage before being securely packaged for shipment or further processing.
