CHEMEON TCP-HF RTU (Ready To Use) Available Worldwide
Military and the Chemical Industry called upon CHEMEON to create a product for ease of TCP-HF® application. Patent pending CHEMEON TCP-HF RTU (Ready To Use) was developed as a military grade pre-mixed chemistry and can be applied directly from 5gal, 55 gallon, tote, spray bottles or touch-up pens.
CHEMEON TCP-NP™ (No Prep) Presented at NASF SUR/FIN and ASETsDefense SERDP-ESTCP Conferences CHEMEON Scientists and Chemists presented the patented hexavalent-free CHEMEON TCP-NP™ chemical conversion coating, formulated for high corrosion protection and high adhesion qualities on aluminum alloys. These coatings do not require deox or surface activation steps and are designed to shorten processing times and increase output rate. CHEMEON TCP-NP™ immersion, spray and brush application are pending QPL (Qualified Product Listing) QPD (Qualified Product Database) by the U.S. Navy-Defense Standardization Program under governing specification MIL-DTL-81706B
Hubbard-Hall and CHEMEON, a Global Partnership
CHEMEON announced a partnership with Hubbard Hall, initiated by CHEMEON CEO Madylon Meiling and Hubbard-Hall CEO Molly Kellogg. This agreement provides Hubbard-Hall customers with access to CHEMEON’s comprehensive line of anodizing technologies; MIL-SPEC 81706B and MIL-DTL 5541B approved hex-free chromate conversion technologies and laboratory support.

2017
Breakthrough Aluminum Conversion Coating Technology for the HVAC Market
CHEMEON and Metal Processing International (MPI) formed a technological and business alliance to bring advanced aluminum conversion coating technology to the HVAC market through FinkoteCC (Conversion Coating). This technology is designed to extend the life of aluminum alloys in the presence of mild to moderate chloride corrosion, minimizing the development of oxides when water and salt are on the surface. FinkoteCC with CHEMEON chemistry is available exclusively from MPI/Finkote.
CHEMEON “The Power of Protection”
International marketing in multiple languages details the attributes and value of CHEMEON specialty chemicals and services. CHEMEON “The Power of Protection” campaign illustrates the myriad of ways that CHEMEON replaces toxic chemistry and protects the environment.
CHEMEON TCP-HF as an Anodic Seal replaces Sodium Dichromate and Dilute Chrome
The summer 2017 article in Naval Power and Force Projection Magazine (here) details CHEMEON’s work with Metal Finishers Association of California to implement the CHEMEON TCP-HF® solution as a proven and safe replacement for the carcinogen hexavalent chrome.
2018
CHEMEON eTCP™ is a patent pending chemistry providing visual verification that parts are protected is debuted at ASETs Defense. For decades the industry associated the yellow gold hue of the carcinogen hexavalent chrome (known by brand names including Alodine 1200) as visual identification for parts being coated. Now CHEMEON provides visual verification with the non-carcinogenic safe CHEMEON eTCP that meets or exceeds MIL-SPEC. Power of Protection You Can See™ is CHEMEON eTCP.
