SURFACE FINISHING FAQs
The right surface finishing process depends on several factors, including material type, end use, and the properties you desire in your part, such as corrosion resistance, conductivity, and aesthetics. Cost can also be a factor in the process you choose. Seacole’s technical experts can help you understand what your project demands and recommend the appropriate surface finishing products.
Anodizing is a process typically applied to aluminum. It improves corrosion resistance and can add color to a metal part. Electroplating deposits a thin layer of metal on a substrate. It is typically used on metals such as gold, silver, nickel, and chrome.
Yes. We carry and formulate products for mechanical finishing, electroplating, anodizing, powder coating, painting, and passivation.
Yes. Our technical team can help you find the appropriate chemistries for your Type I anodizing project as well as Type II and Type III projects.
