Surface Properties of Sulphuric Anodising
Decorative Sulphuric Anodising provides a silver
coloured finish reflecting the natural colour of the
metal but components can also be dyed in an exciting
range of colours to provide eye-catching effects.
The appearance of Decorative Sulphuric Anodising can
be varied by polishing, bead blasting or deep
etching to provide bright, matt or satin finishes.
Most wrought alloys are suitable for Decorative

better results, especially when dyed. The range of
suitable cast alloys is very restricted - contact us
