OxyTech Engineered Anodize

Offering an extremely hard and corrosion-resistant coating, OxyTech is an engineered coating applied to aluminum. It’s robust composition has passed over 816 hours of salt spray testing on a 6061 aluminum substrate — making OxyTech an economical solution that can be controlled to very specific thicknesses. The oxidation normally associated with aluminum reacts chemically with sulfuric acid, resulting in a somewhat porous finish that can easily be filled with colored dyes, chromium compounds or PTFE to enhance the overall properties.

The coating thickness penetrates 50% into the surface of the substrate and 50% onto the surface. For example, a part having a coating thickness of .001” per side will grow by .0005” per side. It can also be plated in a clear condition — with the clarity ranging from perfectly clear to varying shades of opaqueness depending upon your desired needs. OxyTech can be sealed for maximum corrosion protection or can be left unsealed for maximum abrasion resistance.
