AD Chemicals Qualification

With our training program, AD trains applicators to become true masters in the chemical pre-treatment process, specifically tailored to meet the customer-specific business process within the applicator. This means that applicators are fully in control of their process and can meet the strict requirements of various quality labels and market standards. This enables applicators to exceed the market standard.

Chromium-free pre-treatment

AD Chemicals has been one of the forerunners in the market in chromium (VI) free applications for over 15 years. High-quality chromium VI-free pre-treatment systems have been created through a highly trained R&D team, extensive (in-house) field tests and a continuous focus on process improvement. Which in terms of corrosion protection and paint adhesion perform comparable or better than chromium-containing systems.

The alternative chromium VI free systems are more dependent on the right surface conditions making good managing of the process more critical resulting in stricter pre-treatment requirements. To assure you of the highest quality chemical pre-treatment result, we award the Qualification to outstanding applicators who have proven to be masters of the process.

AD Chemicals Qualification

With the Qualification program, applicators prove that they comply with AD procedures for the treatment of metal surfaces. If you have products coated by certified applicators, you are assured that the (end) products have received a chemical pre-treatment that meet or exceed the existing quality in the field of paint adhesion and corrosion protection. Ofcourse, the products meet the highest market standards such as Qualicoat, QualiSteelcoat and GSB.

Depending on the chemical pre-treatment, we issue the following certificates:

• AD Chemicals Qualification – PreCoat process
• AD Chemicals Qualification – MM31®
