ANODIZING

We offer mid- to high-volume sulfuric acid anodizing in lengths up to 10 ft. long. This is the conventional, most widely used form of anodizing in use today. Anodizing is not a plating process. Unlike plating, anodizing does not deposit any materials onto the metal surface. It is a complex series of steps involving precleaning, etching, deoxidizng, anodizing, dyeing and sealing with careful rinsing after each immersion.
Our quality comes from establishing the exact standards of immersion times, solution temperatures, chemical concentrations and electrical conditions. At TMF we can achieve a wide range of surface finishes from bright to dull matte in clear, black, gold, blue and red.

WHAT IS ANODIZING?

Anodizing is an electrochemical finishing process that results in a durable and corrosion-resistant protective finish. In particular, aluminum is well-suited for anodizing treatments.
In contrast to other finishing processes that apply the coating or finish to the substrate, the anodizing process leverages the aluminum oxide layers that naturally occur in aluminum and increases them in thickness to form a fully integrated surface finish. Depending on the specifications of the anodizing project, the oxide layers can be thickened minimally or to more than 100 times their original thickness.
In addition to their functional benefits, anodized finishes also serve an aesthetic purpose. Industries that require high-quality aesthetic or decorative parts that do not sacrifice durability often employ this finishing process for their parts and products.

SHSPL ANODIZE: YOUR SOURCE FOR HIGH-QUALITY ANODIZED METAL PARTS

At SHSPL Anodize, we understand that component anodization is about more than getting the job done. Our customers rely on us to produce high-quality, durable parts that fulfil their project specifications. By choosing us as their anodizing service provider, they benefit from our commitment to quality, which includes:

  • A Quality Management System (QMS) designed and operated within standards and all applicable customer quality specifications
  • Fully trained inspection personnel
  • Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) measures
  • In-process inspection
  • Monthly environmental testing

With these efforts, we aim to produce and provide anodized products that consistently meet and exceed quality and industry standards.

OUR ANODIZING CAPABILITIES

We offer a wide range of anodizing capabilities that use sulfuric acid as the electrolyte solution and nickel acetate seal as the sealing solution. Beyond these two staple factors, anodizing projects can vary greatly in terms of the pretreatment process, anodizing method, coating thickness, and finish color.
Our anodizing capabilities are as follows:

RETREATMENT: Aluminum pretreatment, Alkaline Cleaner, Caustic Etch, Desmutting, and Bright Dip
ANODIZING PROCESS: Anodizing Type II and III, Bright Dip, Camouflage, Color, Hard Coat, Immersion, Integral Coloring Dyeing, Matte Anodizing, Permodize (Graphic Anodizing), Satin Anodizing, Sealing, Surface Coating
FINISH COLOR (dyed and undyed): Black, Blue, Clear, Gold (Yellow), Green, Red, and Custom Colors May be Available

Whether an anodizing project involves small to medium parts, high volume capacities, or military specifications, we can deliver a cost-effective anodizing solution with a fast turnaround. In addition to our anodizing capabilities, we also offer several value-added services, including laser engraving, and packaging and assembly.
