BONDERITE® MGC Process
Ceramic Coating for Magnesium Alloys
BONDERITE® MGC Process for
magnesium substrates improves
paint adhesion and provides
corrosion protection. It can be used
with traditional paint processes,
and corrosion testing shows it
provides improved robustness in
unpainted and painted surfaces
compared to traditional conversion
coatings. BONDERITE® MGC Process
is an excellent solution for Class A
surfaces where the ultimate level
of protection and paint adhesion is
necessary.
