What is anodising?
Aluminium naturally protects itself by forming a protective layer whenever the base metal is exposed to air. The anodising process produces even thicker protective layers, resulting in a finish that’s as hard as ruby or sapphire and provides good protection against sunlight, corrosion, heat and moisture. This process differs from powdercoating in that anodising is a thickening of the base metal itself, rather than adding a coating, like paint.
