What is Clear & Colour Anodising?
Features
- Choice of natural or over 40 colours and shades
- Highly decorative
- Up to 20 microns
- Semi hardness to aluminium
- Matt and gloss finish available
Applications
Anodising to aluminium provides a corrosion resistant finish coupled with increased aesthetic qualities.
Applications include architectural (railings and framework etc.), motor industry, boating industry, hospitality industry, electronics and artistic applications. In general any items which require medium level corrosion resistance performance with aesthetic qualities.
Some examples are, motor cycle parts, clock faces for designer clocks, stair rails, ice buckets, planters and cups, visible boat parts and electronic switch devises and panels.

What is Hard Anodising?
Features
- Hardens coating of alloy to the strength of tool steel
- Melting point 650°C
- Up to 200 microns
The coating provided by the Hard Anodic Oxidisation process can vary from a dull to a polished finish. The coating has many applications due to its inherent properties which include abrasion, erosion and corrosion resistance as well as electrical insulation.
Specifications
DEF 151 Type B
Bath Capacity
1500 x 1100 x 1100
Applications
Hard anodised components can be used in many applications previously considered unsuitable for aluminium. Examples include reciprocation and sliding parts, bearing cylinder heads, firearm components, pump parts, brake cylinders, sub sea equipment and packaging equipment. Highly recommended for use in harsh environments.
What is Chromic and Anodising?
Specifications
To DEF - 151, Type C
Applications
Generally used in the aviation industry. The chromic acid process is used where a high resistance to corrosion is required, where crack detection is a subsidiary requirement, for the treatment of aluminium assemblies where there must be no corrosion risk from trapped electrolyte and for the production of opaque enamel-like self-coloured grey/black finishes for decorative use.

Bath Capacity
800 x 800 x 800
Applications
Used on electronic components to increase conductive qualities and corrosion resistance.
