A cold seal, also known as a room-temperature seal, is a sealing bath that contains nickel and fluoride and is used at ambient temperatures. Best results are obtained with temperature regulation, which ensures a more consistent rate of sealing reaction. Recommended sealing temperatures for Clariant cold seal products are between 80 ° and 90 ° F (27 ° to 32 ° C). //www.dcorian.com/articles/is-a-cold-seal-right-for-your-anodizing-operation
