Classical anodizing is a galvanic process of growing of anodic film on the surface of aluminium.
It has been known for over 100 years. Over the last years the industry has learned how to manage perfectly all stages of the process.
Firstly the element passes through the bath of degreasing, which removes all dirt from the surface, afterwards it enters etching bath in which natural oxide layer is removed, and only then the process of growing of the anodic film starts.
Quality control of this step ensures that uniform coating of a given thickness will be formed.
Colouring of grown anodic film is the next step. You can colour it in the bath with chemical dyes (golden shades), or you can process it in the bath of electrocolouring with dissolved salts of tin (shades from light gray to black). The final step is sealing during which pores with colourant are closing.
Quality coating has high hardness and excellent light fastness. Discreet colours emphasize generosity and beauty of aluminium.
