Anodising is an electrochemical process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide layer in aluminium. The anodic coating is part of the metal, but has a porous structure that allows secondary infusions (organic and inorganic colouring, etc.) Anodising is commercially unique to aluminium and its alloys. Benefits of Anodising:

• For decoration, through a variety of colours
• For a long-lasting appearance z For protection against weathering
• For surface hardness
• For abrasion and wear resistance
• To improve the adhesion of organic coatings (adhesives, varnish, paint)
• To modify visual properties (reflectivity)

Powder Coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to aluminium - creating a wide range of products that are used by both industries and consumers. The process result is a uniform, high quality and attractive finish. Powder costs less to apply than equivalent performance liquid paint. Benefits of Powder Coating :

• Tough and durable
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Impact resistant
• Attractive and colourful
• Excellence of finish
• High quality and versatile
• Solvent free and environmentally friendly
