RoHS Compliance and Iridite NCP

In anticipation of market and regulatory trends, K-Form is upgrading our Iridite chemical film to a RoHS compliant process eliminating the use of hexavalent chromate. The new process, called Iridite NCP, meets or exceeds MIL-DTL-5541F (Type 2) Class 1A/Class 3 requirements and is approved under MIL-QPL-81706 (CHEMICAL CONVERSION MATERIALS FOR COATING ALUMINUM AND ALUMINUM ALLOYS). Our independent lab tests confirmed the coating to match or outperform traditional Iridite in corrosion and conductivity.

K-Form strives to present customers with the highest level of quality and value. Environmental compliance presents considerable value customers can take to market. The new process allows our customers to market globally in accordance with RoHS (ELV and/or WEEE) compliance.

The finish, as is true with all approved RoHS compliant chemical conversion coatings, is colorless. K-Form will work with customers during this time of transition to provide some degree of legacy finishing when gold is absolutely required. Please call to request a sample or discuss needs.
