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.
