BONDERITE C-IC 457

Main features

  • Heavy-Oxidation Aluminum/Magnesium Deoxidizing
  • Non-Flammable Phosphate-Free Formulation
  • Pre-Paint Surface Conditioning

Product Description

BONDERITE C-IC 457 (formerly DEOXIDINE 457) is a non-flammable, phosphate-free, surfactant-based acid cleaner, brightener, and pre-paint conditioner designed for aluminum and magnesium substrates. It aggressively removes oxidation and corrosion products to produce a chemically clean, oxide-free surface ideal for subsequent welding, painting, or conversion coating.

Key features

  • Phosphate-free formulation: Provides a non-flammable, surfactant-based cleaning action that brightens surfaces while avoiding phosphate regulations.
  • Versatile application: Can be easily applied via brush or manual spray wand at varying dilution ratios to remove both light and heavy oxidation.
  • Optimizes subsequent coatings: Perfectly prepares metal surfaces to yield excellent paint adhesion and corrosion resistance when used with non-chrome conversion coatings.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Deep cleaning, conditioning, and brightening of aluminum and magnesium surfaces.
  • Surface preparation prior to welding, painting, or conversion coating.
  • Removal of heavy oxidation and surface corrosion.
