Aluminum Extrusion Finishing & Assembly
Unique Extrusions provides aluminum extrusion finishing and assembly with the goal of superior quality. We offer a complete line of mechanical finishes, powder coating, and anodizing with an array of finishes to give your aluminum extrusion an appearance your customers will be proud of.
Secondary Finishing
Secondary finishing consists of additional processes or treatments applied after the extrusion process to enhance the appearance, functionality, or performance of the aluminum profiles. These finishing techniques may include anodizing, painting, powder coating, machining, or other surface treatments to achieve specific desired properties or aesthetics.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing dry powder. This is different from the conventional wet paint types of coatings. Whereas wet paint is applied using an evaporating solvent, a powder coat is applied by electrically charging the metal and adhering to the metal electrostatically. The powder is then baked on in a curing process usually under heat.
System features/benefits include:
- line maximum length 30’
- RoHS compliant coatings
- Infrared and convection over for faster curing of powder
- 8 automatic and 2 hand spray units
What is Anodized Aluminum?
Anodized aluminum is one of the most common and durable chemical finishes in the aluminum industry. This process not only enhances the final appearance of the aluminum extrusions but also adds a protective layer, significantly improving their resistance to corrosion, wear, and environmental factors. There are various types of anodized aluminum extrusions, each offering unique properties and finishes to meet specific application requirements.
How is Anodizing Done?
The process of anodizing aluminum involves immersing the aluminum extrusions in an electrolytic solution while applying an electric current. This induces an oxidation reaction on the surface of the aluminum, resulting in the formation of a protective oxide layer. Anodized aluminum extrusions come in different types, including standard, two-step, bright dip, and hardcoat. Each type offers specific properties and finishes, with options such as satin clear, black, bronze, clear bright dip, and special colors available for customization.
What are the Benefits of Using Anodized Aluminum Extrusions?
Anodized aluminum extrusions offer numerous advantages over untreated aluminum or other surface treatments. They provide enhanced corrosion resistance, durability, and scratch resistance, making them ideal for various applications in industries such as architecture, automotive, and manufacturing. Additionally, the customizable color and finish options allow for greater design flexibility and aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s for architectural accents, decorative elements, or industrial components, anodized aluminum extrusions provide a reliable and cost-effective solution that meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.
