Anodize Overview

We process a vast array of aluminum components through our expansive anodize line. We offer chromic, sulfuric, boric sulfuric and hard anodize capability as well as chromated and non chromated alodine (chemical conversion coatings).

Chromic Anodize

Type I Chromic Acid Anodizing creates a thin aluminum oxide film by rapidly controlling the oxidation of an aluminum surface. The resulting aluminum oxide film is electrically non-conductive. The active...

Sulfuric Anodize

Sulfuric Anodizing is a process that provides a conversion on aluminum which changes the surface of the material to a naturally occurring aluminum oxide. The oxide build up changes the...

Boric Sulfuric Anodize

Boric-Sulfuric Acid Anodize (BSAA) is an alternative to chromic acid anodize. Primary applications include aircraft and aerospace components. It is used for corrosion protection and paint adhesion. Paint adhesion is...

Hard Anodize

Often called "Type III anodizing" this is an electrochemical process that creates a controlled oxide film on the surface of aluminum. It utilizes sulfuric acid, low bath temperatures, and high...
