The natural anodic oxidation is a process of electrolytic conversion of aluminium metal covered by an oxide layer which grows as an integral part of the metal itself, obtained by acid solutions with specific additives, used for technical and decorative purposes in different applications, with specific features:
- high resistance to corrosion;
- good resistance to wear;
- surface porosity of 20% – 30%;
- natural surface appearance, neutral and coloured that reflects the original conditions of the substrate, obtained by a chemical process of alkaline satinizing;
- surface hardness from 500 to 900 Brinel;
- electrical insulation;
- uniformity of thickness with values from 5 to 20 microns in according to the request, which grows for 50% inside and 50% outside the surface.
