Anodized aluminum is aluminum that has been treated through an electrochemical process to create a thick, protective oxide layer on its surface. This process enhances the material's resistance to corrosion, wear, and UV damage, while also allowing for aesthetic color options. Anodized aluminum is durable, scratch-resistant, and commonly used in applications like architectural features, electronics, and automotive parts.

Anodising technology has been in use for nearly a century. While the process has been continuously improved, particularly in terms of quality, its fundamental chemical and technological principles remain unchanged.
Unlike organic coatings such as paint, anodising does not create a surface layer that can peel or crack. When properly sealed, the anodic layer is impermeable, meaning it remains unaffected by extreme temperature fluctuations without undergoing harmful physical changes.
The primary purpose of anodising is to develop a protective aluminium oxide layer, which significantly enhances the metal’s resistance to corrosion and abrasion compared to untreated aluminium.
