The three substrates that can be anodized are aluminum, titanium, and magnesium (steel or stainless steel cannot be anodized). Anodizing will promote the adhesion of paint and many other coatings. We offer primarily type II & III anodic coatings. Type II offers the possibilty of an array of colors, while Type III offers thickness and wear resistance. General purposes for anodizing include:

•wear resistance
•corrosion resistance
•heat dissipation
•non-conductive properties
•improved paint/coating adhesion
•aesthetics.
