Hardcoat Anodize

Hardcoat anodizing is an electrochemical process that produces an oxide coating that becomes integral to the aluminum part. It penetrates the aluminum part as much as it builds up on the surface. The thickness of the coating includes both the build-up and penetration of the oxide coating. The most distinguishing characteristics of hardcoat anodizing are the thickness of coating and density of pores.

If your goal is to achieve a functional coating that can be dyed in a variety of colors and offers superior wear resistant properties, in some cases better than hardened steel, and excellent corrosion resistance, we have exceeded 1,000 hours salt spray on some alloys, then this coating can help you accomplish your requirements. Hardcoat anodizing also accomplishes other desirable properties on aluminum. It s adds thickness to the aluminum substrate and offers excellent electrical resistance and heat dissipation.

We offer consistent and repeatable results with this process. If these are the characteristics that you require for your product, then we can assist you with accomplishing your goals.
