Chemical chromating (Alodine 1200)[...]
Anodising: anodic oxidation in sulphuric acid and anodic oxidation in chromic acid transform the aluminium layer into an alumina layer, protecting the metal from corrosion.
Colouring: The pores created during the anodising process, absorb colour with no effect on the metal nature of the aluminium.
Sealing: Protects the anodised aluminium from corrosion by sealing the pores. The surface of the metal becomes hard and smooth.
Enables a material health inspection to be carried out before sealing
Anti-corrosion treatment
BF5 Treatment: Optimised sealing, primer treatment for painting.
Acts as a resist if hard anodising is to be carried out at a later stage
Offers excellent protection against corrosion
Barely modifies tolerance values (virtually no swelling)
Electrical insulation

This type of anodising is applied to aluminium and its alloys. It results in layers of a thickness between 5 and 25 µm (of which 1/3 is excess thickness: swelling)
Decorative coating
Coating subjected to frequent cleaning
Part subjected to slight abrasions
Excellent protection against corrosion
Easy to colour
Electrical insulation
Resistance to friction and abrasion
