Anodizing – a strong and durable surface treatment
ProfilGruppen is an expert in anodizing, an electrolytic process that reinforces the natural oxide layer of aluminium. Anodizing is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, providing products that not only have eye-catching aesthetics, but also better resistance to wear and corrosion. Anodized surfaces can be customized in different colours to meet specific needs, such as making the surface electrically conductive or protecting against weathering.
Anodizing is also an environmentally friendly choice. By using an acid and current-based process to strengthen the aluminum, it creates a highly durable surface layer that is also fully recyclable. Compared to alternative methods, such as chromating, anodizing has a lower environmental impact. For companies looking to create long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing products, anodizing offers both functionality and durability.
The benefits of anodizing
- Protects against corrosion and wear
- Provides decorative and durable surfaces
- Meets high hygiene standards
- Good substrate for gluing, printing and varnishing
Longitudinal anodizing – for larger profiles
For customers who need to anodize longer aluminium profiles, ProfilGruppen offers a long length anodizing service. This method handles profiles up to 7.8 meters long and offers the same high quality and control over the surface layer as short length anodizing, even for larger and more complex products. Electrolytic coloring can also be applied to customize the aluminum to specific design requirements.
Short bit anodizing – for small and flexible
For shorter profiles and faster throughput, ProfilGruppen offers short-piece anodizing. This method allows customization in almost 100 different colors, giving greater freedom for product design. With high capacities and short lead times, we can meet customer needs quickly and efficiently.
Alutin – electrically conductive anodizing
Alutin is a unique method of creating electrically conductive anodized surfaces, making it ideal for applications in the electrical and telecom industries. By adding tin to the anodizing process, a composite layer is created that both conducts electricity and offers good wear and corrosion resistance. Alutin is an environmentally friendly alternative that is also cost-effective and works on most aluminum alloys.
Painting – an alternative to anodizing
For those looking for additional options, ProfilGruppen also offers powder coating of aluminum. Painting provides a durable color finish with good UV resistance and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Choose from a wide range of colors from RAL and NCS/S color scales and create a surface that suits your design.
