A Revolutionary Pretreatment Process for Exotic Base Materials

Noviganth® PA is especially designed for pretreatment of mineral-filled polyamide substrates, which are increasingly used in the manufacture of automotive parts such as door handles. The process is ideally suited for the automotive industry’s move to reduce
Cr(VI)-usage in the pretreatment stages of plating on plastics.

By a combination of an acid sweller and a conditioner the process allows a reliable pretreatment which is completely CR(VI) etch-free and ammonia- and lead-free – developments that highlight our continuing commitment to the plastics industry. The totally Cr(VI)-free etch and the combination of acid sweller and conditioner keeps the process short and stable.
