✨ Decorative Anodising – High‑Quality Colour Anodising for Aluminium Components
Decorative anodising is a premium aluminium finishing process designed to enhance both the appearance and durability of aluminium components. By creating a controlled oxide layer on the metal surface, decorative anodising delivers vibrant colours, improved corrosion resistance, and a long‑lasting, high‑quality finish ideal for both commercial and industrial applications.
⭐ Benefits of Decorative Anodising
- Wide Range of Colours & Finishes The porous anodised layer absorbs dyes effectively, allowing for bright, consistent colours and attractive metallic tones.
- Enhanced Corrosion Resistance The anodised coating protects aluminium from oxidation, moisture, and environmental exposure, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
- Durable, Hard‑Wearing Surface Decorative anodising increases surface hardness, improving resistance to scratches, wear, and abrasion.
- Lightweight & Environmentally Friendly The process strengthens aluminium without adding weight or using harmful coatings or solvents.
- UV‑Stable, Long‑Lasting Colour Properly sealed anodised finishes maintain their appearance and resist fading over time.
⚙️ Common Applications
Decorative anodising is widely used across:
- Consumer electronics and appliances
- Architectural and interior design components
- Automotive and motorsport trim
- Lighting fixtures and display systems
- Furniture, hardware, and retail fittings
- Precision‑machined aluminium parts
🧪 How the Decorative Anodising Process Works
Aluminium components are immersed in a sulphuric acid electrolyte and exposed to a controlled electrical current. This forms a porous aluminium oxide layer that can be dyed in a wide range of colours. Once coloured, the part is sealed to lock in the finish and enhance corrosion resistance. The result is a smooth, attractive, and durable surface that becomes an integral part of the metal.
PPC Anodising also offer services, including Hard Anodising, Chromate Conversion, Chemical Brightening, Glass Bead Vapour Honing and PTFE.
