Anodizing Aluminum
Anodizing produces a decorative, soil-repellent, corrosion-resistant surface.
The surface of the metal is transformed into oxide through electrolysis. The process continues until the thickness of the oxide layer is the desired thickness – usually 5–20 µm.
Anodizing is used to create
A permanent new appearance
Corrosion resistance
A dirt repellent surface that corresponds to a high standard of hygiene
A decorative surface with durable paint and luster
A smooth surface
A functional surface, a sliding face or an abrasion-proof surface, for machine parts, for example
An electrically insulating surface
A basis for application of glue and paint
Powder Coated Aluminum
Powder coating withstands high impact abrasion considerably better than wet coating
Good formability (can be bent after powder coating)
Suitable for use in open air– high UV radiation resistance and corrosion resistance
