Surface Treatment

Surface finishing is widely needed in our products from prototypes and production.


To improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the product by changing the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of the surface layer. Or to get a good looking in the parts. We all need to do with the surface treatment in the original parts. Traditional surface finishing methods mainly include: Anodizing, Chromate, Galvanizing, Electrophoresis, Bluing, Blackening, Passivation, Spraying, Powder Coating, Polishing and Sandblasting.

Product & Pictures

Smoothing

Plastics & Metal

N/A

Smooth mechining can be applied to the part to reduce its surface roughness,machining marks are less evident but still visible.

Surface Treatment

Sandblasting

Plastics & Metal

Raw Materials Color

Sandblasting adds a uniform matte or satin surface finish, it's mainly used for visual purposes and comes in several different grifts

Surface Treatment

Painting

Plastics & Metal

RAL/Pantone Colors

Painting is a well-known way to add colors.It is a great way to improve the aesthetics of the parts,especially for plastic parts

Surface Treatment

Powder Coating

Metal

RAL/Pantone Colors

Powder Coating is a dry finishing process that result in a smooth finish and creates a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

Surface Treatment

Polishing

Plastics(Especially PMMA) & Metal

N/A

Normally hand polish the metal parts to achieve a smooth finish, it creates a slightly reflective surface. For PMMA to reach the transparent effect.

Surface Treatment

Brushing

Metal

N/A

Brushing is produced by polishing the metal grit resulting in a unidrectional satin finish

Surface Treatment

Anodizing

Aluminum

Black, Clear, Red. Blue, Silver, Gold, etc

Anodising is used to increase surface hardness, wear resistance and the lifespan of the metal like Aluminium.

Surface Treatment

Alodine

Aluminum

Clear /Yellow

Alodine is a chromate conversion coating applied to improve corrosion resistance and help preserve electrical conductivity

Surface Treatment

Black Oxide

Steel, Copper, Aluminium, ect

Heavy Black

Black Oxide is a coating used to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light relection.

Surface Treatment

Electroplating

Plastics & Metal

Matallic

Electroplating is used for maintenance or purely decorative purposes. We can coat your parts in chrome,zinc,nicket,etc

Surface Treatment

Passivation

Steel, Stainless Steel

Very light blue

Passivation is used to enhance the corrosion resisthance of steel parts, especially of stainless steel components


Laser Engraving

Plastics & Metal

N/A

Laser engraving is a process that uses optical principles to perform surface treatment. Similar to screen printing pad printing, laser engraving can be typed on the product surface or pattern. Safe and reliable. Accurate, meticulous, fast.Surface Treatment
