Hard Coat Kit:  This coating also called Type III anodizing produces an extremely hard surface that rates as high as 70 C Rockwell which is much harder than steel (normal 6061 aluminum- 5 mols, steel 7-8 mols, decorative anodizing 8 mols, Hard Coat 12 mols, titanium 14 mols).  Hard coating should only be used in extreme wear, heat, steam, and abrasive applications only.  If your application requires beauty as well as durability, choose the show anodizing application. Coating of well over 2.0 mils can be produced. Can only be dyed Green or Black and temperature range must be maintained in the range of 28F-68F.   Kit includes Alk-Etch, Desmut One or Two, Hard Coat Anodizer, Hard Coat Anodizing Additive, Vibrant Green & Black Dye, Kool Seal, Anodized Aluminum Stripper, 1000 Series Cathodes, Seven Tanks, Four Heaters, and Anodizing Book

(SR)Salt Resistant Anodizing Kit:  Used for boat and any marine applications such as fishing rods, jet ski parts, etc.  Gives almost as nice of an appearance as standard show anodizing but with two major advantages.....one SR Anodizing produces a thin but hard and super resistant to salt spray test (about four times that of normal anodizing)....two, the SR anodizing bath runs between 70 to 95 degree F which lessens the temperature maintenance worries of regular anodizing which is much lower. 24 volt power supply is needed.

ANODIZING ACCESSORIES

Above are some of our available colors that were anodized with the very same chemical steps in our 'Show Anodizing Kit' and our Bright Dip.  All samples are done on 4000 series aluminum cable brackets that we had bought at a local hardware store with a matte finish.  No buffing or polishing was done on these parts.  Results on 6000 series will be as good or better than this.  Compare this finish to any other illustrated on the internet or catalog and you will see there is no comparison.

ALL DYES ARE RATED 6 OR HIGHER FOR LIGHT-FASTNESS.

Dyes: Makes 2 gallons  Orange   $12.00  Red $7.00   Blue $7.00   

Green $9.00    18K GOLD $24.00   Purple $9.00    Vibe Red $16.00 

Vibe Green $16.00    Black  $24.00     Vibe Blue $16.00   

Violet $16.00

Sold in 2 gallon mix.  Each container can make 2 gallons of dye.

BRIGHT DIP: The picture on the left was matte finish part prior to Bright Dip.  To the right is the same part after Bright Dip for two minutes.  The Bright Dip is $61.00 per gallon when purchased with a kit and $69.00 per gallon when purchased separately.  Used to brighten a polished part prior to anodizing.  The part will shine so bright you will not believe your eyes.  A must for true show anodizing.  No need to buff.  Just dip and anodize.  Hazmat.

Teflon Sealer: (makes the amount shown) $159/ two gallons - $249/ makes four gallons - $289/ five gallons - $399 for eight gallon.   This sealer is used for placing a teflon coating onto anodized aluminum which will place a super slick, heat resistant coating onto the final product.  Paintball gun barrels are one of the most common application of teflon sealing. Great for all types of anodizing whether it's show, hard coat, salt resistant, or super thick anodizing. 

Kool Seal: $80 for a 10.2 gallon makeup.  Used for sealing aluminum after anodizing and dyeing.  Seals anodize aluminum without the pain of using steam or boiling some hot nickel sealer.   Used at room temperature.  Just dip and seal. No need to sit and wait over 60 minutes for steam sealing. This sealer is much easier to use than a hot nickel acetate sealer and leaves no 'smut' as is common in hot nickel seals.  Plus you do NOT have to heat it to almost boiling like hot nickel seals.  We are not aware of any easier way to seal anodizing. 

Mid Temp Seal: $60 makes six gallons.  Sealing anodized aluminum after dyeing. Seals anodize aluminum by heating seal to near boiling.   Additive in Hot Seal eliminates any smutting problem common in most heated seals. 

MASKING PRODUCTS:

OUR MOST POPULAR MASKING PRODUCT - Rubberized Masker:  Small Can $35.00 or Large for $100.00.  This is a special temperature and corrosive resistant coating that can be used to mask off certain areas for either multi-color anodizing or for omitting certain areas from being exposed to the anodizing process.  Paint it on, dries in minutes, and when you are finish, just peel it off.  One pound covers almost 500 square inches.  This item is a 'must-have' for anyone looking to do splash anodizing or silk-screen anodizing. 

Plating/Anodizing Adhesive Making Tape:  $22 a roll (1"X 25 yards)  This corrosive and temperature resistant tape should be used only to mask off areas that will not be exposed to the plating or anodizing process throughout the entire process.

Titanium Racking Wire: ONCE YOU GO TITANIUM, YOU NEVER GO BACK.   For trouble free racking on aluminum parts.  These wires and rods will not lose conductivity when anodized (as is the case with aluminum wire).  Can be used over and over again without be stripped.  Just rinse and re-rack.  Will last and last.  Cost $1.00 per foot. 

Industrial Chiller U-Coil:  ($95 and up)   This is used for making an inexpensive heat exchanger for cooling of any anodizing. 

Industrial Chiller Plate Coil: $400 and up for Hard Coat Anodizing
