Anodising is a very hard durable coating for aluminium which can be permanantly
dyed with a range of colours to produce multi coloured graphics on silver or coloured
backgrounds. Anodised coatings are not good electrical conductors, when used as a
surface finish on control & instument facias we can mask areas for earthing if required.
These areas can also be Alochromed if required.
ALOCHROME
Alochrome 1000 and 1200
Corrosion protective coating applied to aluminium prior to painting. Also used on
control & instrument facias without painting, especially rack mounted enclosure parts, due to its
