Make aluminum surface minutely uneven, change water into droplets to obtain super water repellency
TOP ALZEEK PROCESS
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust. It is lightweight, and excellent in specific strength, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and other characters. Hence, aluminum is widely used in automobiles, trains, aircrafts, ships and consumer electronics.
As the global leader for aluminum surface treatments, we offer a wide range of aluminum anodizing dyes (the coloring dyes for aluminum finishing), special chemicals to design aluminum surfaces as well as electroplating chemicals and electroless nickel plating solutions exclusive for aluminum.
Aluminum is attracting people’s attention because it can be recycled easily also can contribute to our carbon-neutral society. Thus, we have developed a new process that can give super-hydrophobicity to aluminum surfaces just by immersion treatment without special equipment such as vacuum drying.

As a water-repellent surface that are found in nature, lotus leaves are known. The surface of each lotus leaf has ultra-micro protrusions in several micrometers, and such microscopically uneven structures exhibit a water-repellent effect on the leaves. Once water falls on the leave, their unique structures change water into small droplets that wash off the leaf surface together with dirt and foreign matters. By chemically reproducing the lotus effect, we have succeeded to give anti-dirt and self-cleaning effects on aluminum surface. We have developed this process for new applications such as anti-dirt treatments for buildings, the frost prevention for air conditioner parts, and the improvements of thermal conductivity in cooling parts by preventing water deposition.
