“Currently, we use nylon coating on top of our aluminum parts. From time to time, we have had issues with delaminating and reworking. Can I switch to the anodizing process to satisfy our spec?”
Yes. We have several customers who formerly used nylon coatings and switched to our hard coating due to significant delamination problems. Just tell us your spec, and we will work with you to explain alternatives anodic coatings that are most appropriate.
“Can you eliminate the mottling and crazing defect in hard coat processes?”
Yes. We have developed a process which completely eliminates mottling and crazing defects in hard coating.
“We are using hard coat per mil spec MIL-8625 on one of our product lines. The sharp edges of our product have lead to considerable chipping of this coating. Can you eliminate chipping without radiusing the edge?”
Possibly, we have a special process that addresses this issue. We can make your coating harder and denser, reducing the risk of chipping defects caused by practical use.
