The term pre-treatment covers everything from degreasing and cleaning, through to phosphating, chromating and priming. We do this for a whole variety of substrates including steel, zinc, aluminium, brass and plastics.

The appearance and corrosion resistance of paint and powder coatings is dependent on the correct choice of pre-treatment and the effectiveness and control of the selected process.

A lack of care at this stage can spoil an otherwise perfect job. At Frederick Cooper we use our vast experience to recommend the best method of pre-treatment for the given substrate and through our ISO 9002 quality methods ensure that the job is done properly.

We continually test pre-treatment chemicals to ensure consistency and reliability. Sample panels are processed, checked and retained daily, whilst production components are constantly monitored to guarantee the highest standards.
