SLICKOTE®

George Industries and Slickote have developed a process specifically for aluminum castings to make them appear to look more like machined alloy parts for cosmetic purposes. This involves first anodizing the casting then applying a thin proprietary seal (per MIL-A-63576 Type 3) which is trademarked under the brand name Slickote.
