Metal Finishing

Protek is one of the early pioneers in supplying the pretreatment systems for both aluminium and iron based products. Our treatment systems have always been geared towards the promotion of good adhesion, soil removal as well as providing a secondary barrier protection against corrosion.

Apart from this, Protek is also active in the aluminium anodizing process where we have the full expertise to design and commission an anodizing line.
