ALUMINUM ANODIZING SERVICES
Our Services
Decorative Anodizing
Color and protect aluminum parts for aesthetic appeal.
We can match most architectural colors, just send us a sample and we’ll help you out.
Architectural Anodizing
Protect large aluminum parts for architectural purposes.
Type II - Class I & II
Builds up the aluminum oxide on the surface as well as into the aluminum material too.
Color Anodizing
Our two-step electrolytic coloring system offers a deep and rich range of bronze coloring from champagne to light/medium and dark bronzes or black. These color options are ideal for architectural purposes and any application where color fading is not acceptable.
Automated Shot-Blasting
Wrought and fabricated parts may not have the ideal surface for anodizing. Our computer-controlled mechanical etching unit can create a uniform, matte finish on your aluminum parts.
Services include:
-Small Parts to Long Parts Up to 32 feet long
-Medium to Large Production Runs or Prototype Runs

The Standard Anodizing Process
Alum-A-Coat is a leader in Type II anodizing and coloring with our line of 29 process tanks, each over 30’ in length and holding over 4,500 gallons of solution. Our line can accommodate just about any job you may send our way. We can accommodate one-off fabricated parts with large dimensions as well high-volume orders. We are able to anodize millions of square feet per month with a consistently high level of quality. See below for a brief description of our process.
Caustic Etch & Desmut
Our caustic etch/desmut treatment de-greases the aluminum parts and yields a clean, matte surface on which a uniform anodic layer can be produced.
Anodizing
Anodizing is the electro-chemical process of producing a protective oxide film on the surface of aluminum alloys. Anodizing offers superior surface protection of aluminum. All of our anodizing tanks are CNC operated and temperature-controlled using the latest in refrigeration technology, ensuring a precise and consistent anodic film build-up.
Seal
Magnesium acetate sealing ensures that the porous anodic layer remains intact and durable. Sealing is essential to the corrosion-resistant properties of anodic films. Our sealed, anodized parts withstand over 3,000 hours of salt-spay testing without failure.
