Anodized aluminium sheets ALMECO
Pre-anodized aluminium offers an excellent combination of high reflection and durability in a large range finishes and qualities to suit most applications. Anodizing can be carried out economically without damage to the environment and reflectors are fully recyclable as the anodized layer forms only a tiny fraction of the product weight.
Bright anodizing process comprises degreasing; brightening;”de-oxidising”, anodizing and sealing. The degrease removes oils and dirt which are always present on bright rolled aluminium. Electrobrightening, made in a concentrated acid mixture, is a key process that forces the dissolution of the disturbed surface layers of the aluminium in a way that smoothes the surface to increase its gloss. Deoxidising to remove residue from the brightening completes the preparation of a bright surface.
Anodizing itself consists of electrically polarizing the aluminium in acid so that it converts to aluminium oxide. This reaction is carefully controlled to give coating properties and accurate thickness control that are optimized for lighting and decorative applications.
