Aluminum, more than most metals, accepts a varied range of finishes including chemical, anodized, mechanical and painted. These finishes are available in both long and short lengths. Chemical Finish : Chemical coatings may be several processes. Bright dipping results in a mirror-like finish, whereas the etching process will result in a frosted finish on the aluminum surface. Anodizing Finish : Anodizing is a process that serves to increase the resistance to corrosion and abrasions. Thus is available in both clear and colored coatings. The clear anodizing results into a frosted finish, and in bright dipping, various color can be introduced. Painting Finish : Painting, like chemical coatings and anodizing, can be divided into several different processes. Painting results after a thin layer of fine powder is applied to the surface of the aluminum and is then heated, causing the powder to form a coating. Mechanical Finish : Mechanical finishes are generally used to alter the texture of the aluminum, ranging from a rough texture to a mirror-like surface finish. Polishing, grinding, tumbling and burnishing are examples of different types of mechanical finishes.
