BENEFITS OF ANODISING OVER POLYESTER POWDER COATINGS

RISK
Decisions concerning the applied finish on major construction projects are crucial and contain an important, but often neglected, element of risk management. With the increasing complexity of finishes available, the choice of finish and particularly, the choice of finisher, can significantly affect the risk element of the decision.
Anodising has been used in building construction for more than 60 years. The process gives a tough durable finish, the production of which has been much refined over the past 20 years. Properly produced, anodising now gives the safest and hardest architectural finish currently available. Anodising has and will continue to be a major factor in the industry because of its:-
Proven Durability
There are buildings more than 50 years old showing the longevity of the anodic film.
Integral Finish
The anodic film is integral with the metal and not an applied finish. This means that there are no possible adhesion or joint corrosion problems and no susceptibility to filiform corrosion
Abrasion Resistance
Abrasion and scratch resistance on anodising is far superior to all other applied coatings currently in use.
Metallic Lustre
Nothing shows the intrinsic properties of the aluminium substrate to greater effect than the transparent oxide film produced during architectural anodising
Given the above properties and the very much wider range of colours now available, the specifier has the ability to choose both an aesthetically pleasing and risk free finish, for his client's long term peace of mind.more information
