Anodized Finish
Colored anodized finishes are created using a progressive process that builds the finish into the anodize coating. Processing variables such as anodize tank chemistry, tank sequencing, voltage, current, time and temperature, as well as base aluminum material variables such as temper, shape, geometry, mixed alloys and variance of metal constituents in an alloy can all affect the final color. The goal is to maintain the range from color 1 to 3 Delta E. Some colors may reach 5 Delta E or more, depending on these variables. Automated systems control and monitor products throughout the entire process, ensuring the most consistent finish possible.
