This invention relates to a composition of matter and more particularly to a dry mixture of hemi-sodium phosphate and chromic acid adapted for use in deanodizing aluminum and aluminum carboys and is impracticable from an economical and commercial viewpoint as compared with the present composition which can be dispensed, shipped, and stored in solid form.

In this process the alu- (CrOz) .mfimai is added to water when minum articles are immersed on aluminum racks it is desired to use it, preferably at the rate of 12 in a bath of the electrolyte, and an anodizing oimces per gallon of water. The solution is emcurrent passed therethrough. Eventually the ployed at about 180 F. and will completely strip racks themselves acquire a heavy odized coatthe anodized film from the aluminum racks withing.
