Anodizing and Chromate Plating

Add these specialized finishes to your order to extend the life and improve the look of your parts.

Anodizing
Reduce corrosion and add an appealing metallic coloring to your aluminum parts. Anodizing helps resist scratching, acts as an electrical insulator, and is one of the most durable finishes available.

Specifications:

• Type II
• ROHS compliant
• Class 1 (clear)
• Class 2 (black)

Chromate Plating
Protect your parts from corrosion while adding electrical conductivity and the ability to paint your part. Note that steel and iron-based metals require pretreating with zinc before applying chromate.

Specifications:

• Type I, Non-ROHS (yellow)
• Type II, ROHS (clear)
• Class 1A: For maximum protection against corrosion, painted or unpainted
• Class 3: For maximum protection against corrosion where low electrical resistance is required
•
