Capabilities of Anodize Solutions

We provide Hard and Soft anodize that meet or exceed Mil 8625 Type II and Type III coatings. We offer both class 1 (no dye) and class 2 (dyed) anodize. In addition, we can offer bright dip and acid etch to meet all your surface cosmetic requirements, from very matte to high gloss!

If you require blasting, we have hand cabinets for small batches of parts and automated shot blasting for large batches of parts.

If you need the surface categorized we can measure the color (Lab), the gloss (GU), surface roughness (Ra/Rz) and thickness. All color comparisons are done within a light booth that can simulate sun light, incandescent and fluorescent lighting. We don’t need the sun to shine to make a great part!

If you are an armament manufacturer we have an FFL license to provide a full anodize service for all your needs.

Close tolerance parts—no problem. We have micrometers and gauge pins on site to handle those tricky jobs that require precision to a few tenths.

We Are Flexible, and Equipped for Any Size Job
