Our engineers are experts in achieving the perfect finish for
your product. With painting, vapor polishing, sanding, anodizing and
many other services to choose from, you can create the exact
look you want. See how we ensure beautiful parts by reading about
our different finishing services.
Anodizing
Anodizing is an electrochemical
technique for changing the surface properties of some metals. We are
able to anodize aluminum, magnesium and titanium.
There are many reasons to
choose an anodized surface treatment. It improves corrosion
protection, surface hardness, wear resistance, aesthetic
appearance and the adhesion of paints and primers. It also reduces
electrical conductivity, helps to dissipate heat and reduces surface
reflection.
We use primarily Type II
anodizing, which allows the surface to accept colorants and dyes.
Type II is also ideal as a base for painting, which further
increases corrosion protection.
Painting
Our technicians are able to
produce any desired surface finish, including high gloss, matte,
semi-gloss, metallic flakes and customized textures. We also do
color-matched tinting for clear plastic parts.
In addition, advanced technologies
are employed to maintain not only clean-room conditions inside the
painting area but also ensure that all fumes and contaminants from the
painting process pass through a series of filters and traps so the
evacuated air emerges cleaner than before. Just part of our commitment
to responsible, world-class manufacturing.
Sanding And Polishing
Wet and dry
sanding is often used to prepare a surface for painting, but it can also
create unique surface textures which are an integral part of the final
design. We can achieve highly finished surfaces up to mirror polish,
suitable for stainless steel, aluminum and PMMA type plastics. Semi-gloss
and matte surface textures are created by using less fine abrasives applied
in a random, non-directional fashion. Standard brush finishes are created by
progressive sanding in one direction only.
Pad Printing
We apply
pad printing in custom colors, and CNC manufacture customized aluminum
stencils which are suitable for any flat or semi-curved surface.
Silk-screening is also available which may be more suitable for some
applications.
Vapor Polishing
This is a specialized treatment
we do in-house for achieving optical clarity on polycarbonate (PC)
plastic. This method can also be used for repairing minor surface
defects, and is ideal for achieving an extremely clear surface on
complex geometries or hard to reach areas.
After carefully preparing the
part with sanding up to #1500 grit, it is then placed in an
atmospherically controlled environment. Weldon 4 gas is used to melt
the surface of the plastic at the molecular level, which rapidly
reforms with all microscopic scratches blended out.
