Type 2 Anodizing
Type 2 Anodizing
That Actually Works for Southeast Manufacturers
We handle Type 2 anodizing for companies who need their aluminum parts to survive tough conditions. Our 120-foot semi-automatic line processes everything from defense components to marine hardware for customers across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.
Our Type 2 anodizing services form a protective layer that makes aluminum last longer and look better. This protective coating doesn’t wear off, it's an electrochemical process that actually changes the aluminum surface into something much tougher.
What Type 2 Anodizing
Does for Your Parts
Anodizing delivers results you can measure. Companies choose this process because it solves real problems that cost money and cause headaches down the line.
- Corrosion protection that handles moisture, salt spray, and chemical exposure
- Surface hardness that resists scratches and wear damage
- Paint adhesion that makes secondary coatings stick and last
- Clean appearance that looks professional and stays that way
- Dimensional accuracy that doesn't mess with your tolerances
These benefits mean longer part life, fewer warranty claims, and customers who stay happy with your products.
How We Handle Your Parts
We follow a proven process that delivers consistent results whether you're running prototypes or production quantities. Our semi-automatic line gives us control while maintaining the speed you need.
- Surface prep that removes every trace of oil, oxidation, and contamination
- Controlled electrolytic baths that build the anodic layer to exact specifications
- Quality monitoring that checks thickness, uniformity, and appearance throughout
- Sealing process that locks in protection and prepares surfaces for service
