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 prior to anodising and surface finishing.
- Our anodising plant offers coloured 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 supply anodised aluminium satin anodised both 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 and offer greater colour choice than coloured anodising.
