A Michigan-based plant Chemetall has teamed up with Ford to prepare their aluminium-bodied F-150 for the local winter by helping with environmental testing techniques for the surface treatment of the aluminium based bodies.
On Monday, 15 September, a special supplier certification was awarded to Chemetall Surface Treatment Company, 1100 technology Drive.
The aluminium body is already cutting down 700 pounds from the Ford’s popular pick up trucks, now with Chemetell, they are now testing how long it takes for the paint as well as the other parts of the vehicle to erode in the Michigan winter.
Several Ford executives visited the plant site on Monday to hand over the Q1 Supplier Status certificate as well as take a tour of the premises.
Chemetall is a prime producer, supplier and developer of chemical products for over 100 years. Their products range from metal working fluids to chemicals that assist in metal-to-metal adhesive bonding and other surface treatment chemistry.
Jessy Conard, Chemetall Safety, Health and Environment team leader says, "There are chemicals we make that clean airplane's windshields, while we also come up with the stuff than can strip the paint right off."
