We offer our servi ... ces to manufacturers and meet both commercial/government specifications - Commercial | Class I | Class II | Bright Dip | AAMA Certified | MIL-A8625 TYPE || | MIL-C5541 | WOSB - Our facility can accommodate extruded pieces up to 32 feet long, 2 feet wide and 5 1/2 feet deep and up to 1,000 pounds. Aluminum alloys are anodized to increase corrosion resistance and to allow dyeing (coloring), improved lubrication, or improved adhesion. Popular colors include gold, bronze, clear, black, champagne and custom color is available. -------- Processing 3 Shifts During the Work Week - Pick Up and Deliver Locally on Establish Accounts Monday thru Friday. Hours - 7am to 4pm Pacific Standard Time - USA Minimum Charge: 3ft or longer parts $450 or $550 with bright dip | 3ft or smaller $200 or $250 with bright dip Contact Us: sales@alumacoat.com | 626-444-7118 Pacific Standard Time -------- -STANDARD PROCESSES- --------CAUSTIC ETCH & DESMUT: Our caustic etch/desmut treatment de-greases the aluminum parts and yields a matte surface on which a uniform anodic layer can be produced. ---------ANODIZING: Anodizing is the electro-chemical process of producing a protective oxide film on the surface of aluminum alloys. Anodizing offers superior surface protection of aluminum because the anodic film grows from and is integral to the surface of the material. Our anodizing process allows for the following film thicknesses to be produced: Commercial: 0.2 mil or 5 μm, recommended for interior applications. Class II: 0.4-0.6 mil or 10-15 μm, standard film thickness for majority of architectural applications. Class I: 0.7 mil or 18 μm, recommended for material exposed to harsh environments. Our anodizing process meets MIL-A-8625F /AAMA 611-12 specifications. ---------SEAL: Magnesium acetate sealing ensures that the porous anodic layer remains intact and durable. Sealing is essential to the corrosion-resistant properties of anodic films. ----------PACKAGING: - Forklift protection - Bundles of 500-1000 lbs. or as specified by customer - Paper layer separation - Paper interleave available - Special packaging (i.e. masking, sleeves, etc.) available upon request ---------PICK-UP / DELIVERY : Available in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura County) for certain order sizes. read more
