Topcoat or anodised replacement with Saphiral® possible
Surfaces of aluminum components are often subjected to the electrochemical process of anodizing. This is done, among other things, to protect them better against corrosion, mechanical influences or to achieve a combination with coloring.
Saphiral® - excellent surface protection for aluminum
Large color baths are only used to a limited extent in the anodising process, because the maintenance of these baths costs money and space, which is why no anodising company is happy to provide several colors. With Saphiral®, color and smaller batch sizes are no problem. Once a new color has been adapted to the customer's requirements and all the quality assurance processes have been completed, the color can be re-manufactured at any time, even for small batches.
Higher resistance to cleaning agents or care products are additional advantages that this system offers to the user. This is because the glass-like layer not only prevents the penetration of chemicals and the resulting corrosion, but also shows an extraordinarily high resistance to strong acids and alkalis. The coatings show no signs of dissolution or discoloration on contact with concentrated acids and alkalis. They are also extremely weather-resistant, so that outdoor applications are also possible.
The colored Saphiral® coating adheres well to an anodised surface, but also to the untreated material. With a complete sol-gel coating of the component, it is therefore also possible to dispense with the anodising process and save one work step.
