Most anodized products have an extremely long life span and offer significant economic advantages through maintenance and operating savings
Anodizing is a reacted finish that is integrated with the underlying aluminum for total bonding and unmatched adhesion.
Exterior anodic coatings provide good stability to ultraviolet rays, do not chip or peel and are easily repeatable.
The purpose of anodizing is to form a layer of aluminum oxide that will protect the aluminum beneath it. The aluminum oxide layer has much higher corrosion and abrasion resistance than aluminum.
There are some types of anodizing that produce a porous oxide layer that can be coloured with organic dyes or metallic pigments giving the aluminum a decorative and protective finish.
Anodizing is an environmentally safe electrochemical process that converts the aluminum metal surface into a porous aluminum oxide, ultimately creating an end product whose finish is more durable and weather-resistant.
This beneficial result combined with the array of aesthetically pleasing colour finishes opens up endless application possibilities for companies who anodize products and components in commercial, industrial, and consumer applications, even jewelry and artwork.
