The Anodizing Process
Anodizing is an electrolytic process which develops an Anodic coating on the aluminum surface, allowing the coating to absorb dye, producing an integral color. Aluminum components may be Anodized in clear and a wide variety of popular colors. The colors we produce are brilliant and our black is a deep, rich black. Anodizing size capabilities will depend on the color you desire. Your Anodized components will realize increased corrosion resistance, excellent wear and abrasion properties, insulation against the passage of electricity as will as a highly decorative finish. In fact, Anodizing is the basis for most color coating processes on aluminum in use today, and our years of experience have made us experts.
