Advantages of Anodizing

As a Pilkington customer, you can take advantage of the many benefits offered by high performance anodized finishes.

Durability

Anodizing results in a complete bonding of the finish coating and the aluminum - so the finish cannot peel off because it is actually part of the metal. An anodized finish is chemically stable and heat resistant to the melting point of aluminum, which occurs around 1,221 degrees F.

Cost

Due to their extremely long life span, most anodized products offer significant economic advantages. Lower maintenance costs combine with lower initial finishing costs for substantial savings and greater long-term value. In addition, because the anodizing process is very efficient, products can be delivered quickly to meet today's demanding production schedules.
