This specification covers the requirements for six types and two classes of electrolytically formed anodic coatings on aluminum and aluminum alloys for non-architectural applications (read more)

Sulfuric Anodizing (Type II) is performed by submerging the component in a room temperature sulfuric acid bath for 30 to 60 minutes. Some benefits are:

• Corrosion Resistance
• Abrasion Reistance
• Electrical Resistance
• All Colors Available
  For Sulfuric Anodizing we adhere to:
  
• AMS 2472: Anodic Treatment of Aluminum Allo...

Hardcoat Anodizing (Type III) is performed by submerging the component in an acid bath electrolyte solution. The anodic oxide build up actually penetrates the part or component as much as it builds up on the surface. Some benefits are:

• Corrosion Resistance
• Abrasion Reistance
• Electrical Resistance
  
• For Hardcoat Anodizing we adhere t...

Chromic Acid Anodize is the accelerated oxidation of an aluminum surface. The natural thin oxide layer on aluminum prevents some corrosion. The layer can be thickened by the Chromic Acid Anodizing process. This alteration provides even greater scratch and corrosion protection.

All Chromic Acid Anodizing processes are performed manually to ensure the proper care is g... (read more)

Two-step black anodize provides smut-free coating for medical devices, aerospace components and optical applications. (read more)

Anoplate now offers a "green" alternative to chrome-based Chromic Acid Anodize. We now offer Boric-Sulfuric Acid Anodize (BSAA). BSAA is a substitution for Chromic Acid Anodize (or CAA) for aircraft and aerospace applications. (read more)

AnoBlack EC provides electrolytic blackening using inorganic metallic salts in lieu of organic dyes. A 100% smut-free coating that will not fade under extremes of light or temperature. Meets MIL-A­8625, Type II, Class 2 for black sulfuric anodized aluminum. (read more)

Black anodizing: Type II and Type III (hardcoat) anodizing for aerospace, electronics, defense, medical, optics and other industrial applications. Corrosion protection and blackening of aluminum alloys. (read more)

When NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander started sampling the surface of Mars in early June, the first thing to contact the icy soil was a protective coating provided by Anoplate Corporation of Syracuse, NY. The aluminum sampling scoop, referred to as the ISAD (icy soil acquisition device), at the end of the Phoenix Mars Lander's robotic arm incorporated Anoplate's hardcoat anodize .. (read more)
