Anodizing and painting
Color and coating
The natural color of raw aluminum, a silvery-white shade, has its unique charm. However, many of our customers need to give aluminum elements a different color.
Tombig offers anodizing or painting of aluminum profiles, as well as protecting them with a protective film during transportation or processing.
Anodizing is a process of electrolytic oxidation of aluminum, which creates a layer ranging from 15 to 25 µm, and during this process, color is produced.
Painting is a process of applying powder paint to a previously prepared aluminum surface and baking the elements in an oven at temperatures ranging from 140 to 200°C, where the powder melts and polymerization occurs.
Additional coatings on aluminum elements provide additional long-term protection. In the case of anodizing, depending on the thickness of the layer, it can last for approximately 20 years
