Anodizing Aluminum Tubing and Aluminum Shape Benefits
The benefits of anodizing aluminum tubing and aluminum shapes are:
- Durability – Scars and wear from fabrication, handling, installation, and usage are virtually non-existent.
- Cost – low initial cost when compared to other coatings
- Color Stability - anodic coatings provide excellent resistance to fading from exposure to ultraviolet rays, do not chip or peel, and are easily repeatable from batch to batch
- Health and Safety – Anodizing is not harmful to human health, is chemically stable, will not decompose and is non-toxic
