Anodizing Descriptions:

  • Clear Satin Anodized
  • Medium and Dark Bronze Duronotic
  • Developing Bright Dipped Anodized

The anodizing process of aluminum converts the surface of the metal into a long-lasting high performance aluminum oxide finish. This process integrates into the aluminum alloy metal and will not peel or chip, unlike surface applied finishes. It allows the component increased resistance to corrosion and significantly increases the hardness of the metal resulting in a high performance, hard coat finished surface.

One of the major benefits is it allows the component increased resistance to corrosion.  It provides a significant increase in the hardness of the aluminum alloy metal resulting in a high performance, hard coat finished surface.

Anodizing Aluminum Benefits:

  • Durability
    The finished product life cycle would exceed all other finish forms
  • Consistent color
    Anodizing dyes seep into the metal making them very stable. Anodized aluminum maintains its color in spite of exposure to UV rays. It will not flake, peel or chip, and extrusions will look factory new for years.
  • Low maintenance Costs
    Evidence of wear or abrasions from the extrusion process, installation, or from frequent handling and excessive cleaning are rare. Anodized aluminum is easily restored to its original luster with gentle cleaning.
  • Aesthetics
    Anodized aluminum maintains its metallic appearance but can easily accommodate color and gloss applications.
  • Value
    Finishing costs and maintenance costs are low, giving anodized products a better value in the long term.
