Pre-Treatment

It is well known that aluminium and some of its alloys develop a natural oxide film which gives a degree of protection against corrosion. Under many conditions of exposure, particularly damp and humid conditions, this natural protection is inadequate and corrosion occurs.

Anodising

Coatings are an application of a visible finish with a pretreatment that offers a base material protection and a 'key' for the visible coating to adhere too. Anodising uses the unique nature of aluminium as its surface can be converted into aluminium oxide, a material so tough it is often used as an abrasive.
