Alochrome/Anodising

Highland Electroplaters have various methods of protecting and treating aluminium components including electroless and electroplated coating. Sulphuric acid anodising can be used to improve corrosion and wear resistance and improve the cosmetic appearance of the surface.

Dyes can be applied to give a wide range of colours. Hard and semi-hard anodising can be applied to give thick, wear and corrosion resistant coatings to aluminium components.

Sulphuric acid, hard and semi-hard anodising produces an electrically resistant surface coating. Alocrom gives a measure of corrosion resistance and can be used as a surface key for paint, lacquer or rubber bonding.

Alocrom produces an electrically conductive surface coating.
