Anodising and Surface Finishing

•  Sulphuric acid anodising is a very hard, durable coating for aluminium which helps  to prevent corrosion 
• Our maximum component size is 1200mm x 650mm x 600mm, sheet size 1250mm x 700mm with a maximum weight of 50Kg. 
• We can prepare your components in our vibro-polisher, bead blast or create a brushed finish.
• Our anodising plant offers sulphuric acid anodising in a range of colours and a selection of conversion coatings.  
• Used with anodising, aluminium can be dyed a range of colours that  help define your brand. 
• We carry stock of anodising quality aluminium which we can supply satin anodised either sealed or unsealed ready for use with aluprint dyes.
• Anodised coatings are poor electrical conductors so areas can be masked if required.

Conversion Coatings

• Conversion coatings available are Alochrom 1000, Alochrom 1200 and Surtec 650.
• Alochrom 1000 is clear in appearance and offers low electrical resistance and is ideal as a base layer for other finishes.
• Alochrom 1200 offers enhanced corrosion resistance to oxidization, weather and chemical  corrosion and meets DEF STAN 03-18.
• Surtec 650 provides excellent corrosion protection for aluminium extruded material or sheets but without Cr(VI) and is ideal for the electronic, architectural and automotive industries.
• Conversion coatings provide an excellent base for painting and epoxy finishes which use less energy than conventional powder coatings.
