Alert Anodising

MATT ANODISING

Matt Anodising is the most common form of anodising.
The aluminium is processed through etching and desmut stages, then anodised. Anodising is an electrochemical process where the
naturally occurring oxide film is extended and deepened to form a tough surface layer. The thickness of the layer, which determines how well it can
withstand harsh environmental conditions, is measured in microns and is formed as a lattice of pores.
The longer the work is in the anodising tank the deeper the anodised layer becomes - typically; 12 microns or 25 microns.
If a natural (silver) aluminium colour is required, the product does not require colouring and proceeds directly to the sealing process to close surface pores.
Dye processing and Electrolytic processing are available to achieve your colour finish requirements.

Natural

Marine 20

Heavy Duty Marine 25

PROCESS

1 Initial anodising process creates aluminium oxide surface pores

2 Pores absorb dye when submerged in special dye bath

3 Submerge aluminium product in sealing tank to close the
pores and seal in the colour

PROCESS

1 Initial anodising process creates aluminium oxide surface pores

2      Tiny deposits of chemical solution fill the open pores by
        submerging the product in a special chemical bath. The
        longer the submerging time the more colour particles captured,
        resulting in shades varying from champagne to black.

3 Submerge aluminium product in sealing tank to close the
pores and seal in the colour

To achieve the electrolytic colours a minimum of 20sqm of metal is needed per load. If quantity of work has small sqm we put many customers work on one load to achieve the sqm needed. This could incur a delay.
