CHEM FILM
Chem Film, sometimes called by the trade names Alodine or Iridite, is a chemical conversion
coating that is used to passivate aluminum. It protects aluminum substrates from corrosion and
serves as a base for organic coatings while leaving dimensions unchanged. Chem Film is
applied by dipping, spraying or brushing. It is sometimes applied alongside Type II Anodizing
and can be used to repair minor damage to anodized surfaces. The resultant coating is dull,
clear yellow or grey, and not intended for decorative use.
Chem film per MIL-DTL-5541 Class 3 is electrically conductive. The best corrosion protection is
provided by chem film per MIL-DTL-5541 Class 1A.
