ALUMINUM ANODIZING - WHY ANODIZE
Aluminum Anodizing is an electro-chemical process whose purpose is the formation, on the surface of aluminum products, of an oxide film, which offers several advantages:
1. LONG LIFE/DURABILITY
Tests carried out on products subjected to Aluminum Anodization largely exceed 1000 hours in non-acetic salt spray.
2. RESISTANCE TO SALT
NECE Aluminum Anodizing proposes and advises its customers the finishes as well as the Oxidation Classes suitable for hostile environments such as marine ones or subject to strong aggressions.
3. RESISTANCE TO LIGHT
The organic colors, which are obtained by absorption by immersion of the anodized in a solution of organic dye, are the most sensitive among the colors offered by Nece anodizing, and also have a high light- fastness ( >8 ISO NORM 2135).
4. ABRASION RESISTANCE
The oxide layer hardens the anodized surface and it also can be made the anti-scratch treatment, processing option, which gives the finished product a particular resistance to abrasion and scratches, as well as giving a higher result in mechanical terms, in terms of aesthetic, improving the luster of aluminium surfaces treated.
5. DO NOT CHANGE THE UNITS/DIMENSIONS OF PRECISION COMPONENTS
The oxide layer produced by the Aluminum Anodizing hardens the anodized surface, also the Anti-scratch Treatment can be carried out, optional processing, which gives the finished product a particular resistance to abrasion; in addition to giving a greater result in mechanical terms, it also gives it in aesthetic terms, improving the shine of the treated aluminum surfaces.
6. PRODUCES GREATER HARDNESS OF THE ALUMINUM SURFACE
Aluminum Anodizing is an electro-chemical oxide process that intervenes by modifying the structure of the aluminum, making it harder on the surface.
7. WARRANTY
NECE Aluminium Anodizing is equipped with a Quality System, to be understood with regard to the organizational structure, responsibility, procedures and resources put in place for the management of the company in order to achieve the optimal quality standard of the set of technical provisions in relation to the quality mark for the anodic oxidation of aluminum Qualanod. NECE Anodizing has also obtained the certificate attesting compliance with the ISO 9001 quality management system standard for: Anodic oxidation surface treatments, Electrocoloration, Electrocoloration for interference on Extrusions, Laminates, Aluminum alloy parts.
8. FINISH QUALITY
The aesthetic quality, such as that required in high-design furniture, is ensured by the traceability of the entire production cycle, guaranteeing, among other things, over time, to be able to reproduce the same level of finish through the Aluminum Anodizing process.
9. TRACEABILITY OF THE PRODUCT
In the areas of use of Aluminum in which the highest level of quality is required, not only aesthetic, but above all structural, the total traceability of Anodized Aluminum is ensured through marking.
10. EASY CLEANING
NECE Aluminum Anodizing provides a detergent line for aluminum consisting of products for cleaning and perfect maintenance of aluminum surfaces, ideal to ensure better presentability to the finished product or to be supplied to its customer as an effective detergent but at the same time not aggressive.
11. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
NECE Aluminum Anodizing confirms itself as a Green Company in compliance with the stringent regulations dictated by the ISO 14001 standards, as it uses procedures and technologies to contain the environmental impact. NECE Anodizing has also obtained the certificate from Qualital - Institute of Industrial Certification of Aluminum, attesting to the compliance of the Environmental Management System for Surface Treatments of anodic oxidation, Electrocoloration, Electrocoloration for interference on Extrusions, Laminates and Aluminum Alloy Parts.
12. LIGHTNESS, DOES NOT INCREASE THE WEIGHT OF THE ALUMINUM OBJECT
ATS aluminium rim for Porsche GT9R, the lightest Aluminium rim ever made thanks to Aluminium Anodizing.
13. DOES NOT COVER BUT ENHANCES ALUMINUM
Through satin finishing, brushing, chemical and electrolytic finishes, the surface is modified and enhanced without hiding the extent of the raw material.
14. REGENERABLE SURFACE WITH CLEANING TREATMENT
Using our Aluglit and Cristalux cleaning products.
15. SUITABLE FOR STRUCTURAL BONDING
After carrying out many tests on the anodized surface, the finishes suitable for structural bonding (aluminum-aluminum, glass-aluminum, PVC-aluminum) were established.
16. HIGH DESIGN
The Interference Electrocoloring process provides greater prestige to anodized aluminum thanks to a range of colors that are obtained through complex chemical and chemical-physical treatments. With the Interference Electrocoloring process it is even possible to obtain customized colors.
17. HEAT EXCHANGE
Aluminum is a very corrosion-resistant metal alloy, with a specific weight 3 times lower than steel and a higher thermal conductivity; it is therefore ideal for the production of Towel Warmers and Decorative Radiators, whose surfaces are treated with anodizing processes that favor their heat exchange.
18. STAINLESS STEEL EFFECT REPRODUCIBILITY
Glossy Anodizing faithfully reproduces the appearance of polished stainless steel.
19. HEAT ABSORPTION IN PHOTOVOLTAICS
NECE Aluminum Anodizing performs the Anodic Oxidation treatment on the structures of solar, technical and photovoltaic systems; from the tests performed, especially in technical systems, the Electrocoloration of dark shades contributes to the storage of heat from the sun.
20. DEFECTS AND WASTE REDUCTION
Aluminum defects such as flames, lines, extrusion bands, slight frictions and scratches, are reduced through the processing of micro shot peening, commonly called sandblasting. Thanks to the micro shot peening, production waste, due to the quality of the aluminum, decreases significantly.
21. EXCELLENT BASE FOR PAINTING
Aluminum Anodizing prepares the surface of the aluminum for a good adhesion of the paint, also guarantees the durability of the finished product, as even if the paint is scratched, the oxide layer remains to protect the aluminum.
