By providing a variety of premium aluminum surface treatments, Silver City Aluminum assists our customers in maximizing the return on investment for the extruded aluminum parts, goods, and components that we make. Depending on the type of finishing chosen, these custom aluminum coating options may be utilized to improve a product’s function and raise its resistance to corrosion. At our aluminum fabrication operations, our professionals can provide a variety of wet paint choices, powder coating, and anodizing. Similar to all the other services we provide, we handle every step in-house, including the pre-treat finish, painting, powder coating, anodizing, and post-coating inspections before shipment. Maintaining the highest level of quality control for each and every order we fill is our constant focus.
Custom Aluminum Coating Options
Regarding custom aluminum coating solutions, we strive to give our clients high-quality extruded aluminum parts, components, and products around-the-clock, thus our paint line operates almost nonstop. We can paint things up to twenty-one feet long since we employ a vertical electrostatic Polycron paint line. Every component we paint with our wet aluminum surface treatments undergoes a four-stage pre-wash system as part of the pre-wash cycle. After completing the preparatory phase, they dried and were prepared for painting. We go above and above the industry standard to provide superior adherence and a clean, smooth surface on which to apply paint by utilizing a paint pre-wash method that goes well beyond what is required.
Our Signature Four-Stage Pre-Wash
To ensure outstanding adherence, our pre-treat procedure consists of a four-stage pre-wash that comprises an etch, a clean wash, a neutralizing wash, and finally a regular pre-wash. In order to create a uniform color application and meet or surpass industry requirements at every stage of the process, we aim for perfection in all of our painting and aluminum surface treatment services.
We also exceed industry standards in the thickness at which we apply our wet paint coats. Our paint is applied with a thickness of around two milliliters wet, and each piece that passes is constantly observed and examined by our personnel to guarantee flawless finishes and even color application from floor to ceiling. The extruded aluminum components are cured by a specific baking procedure in one of our custom ovens after the paint has been applied. Following curing, each item is manually removed from the line one at a time so that our staff of expert specialists may examine each one before sending it to the shipping division. To guarantee top quality, every item is examined once more before the order gets to the shipping department.
Anodizing Extruded Aluminum Parts
We provide our clients with secondary finishing choices such as powder coating and anodizing in addition to our wet paint treatments for unique aluminum coating solutions. The protective layer provided by these aluminum surface treatments helps to increase the lifespan of the final extruded aluminum part, component, or product. Additional coatings can be applied to an item to provide it more function, texture, or a particular appearance. In order to create a finish that meets our clients’ aesthetic requirements, we collaborate with many powder coaters and anodizers, which lengthens lead times. The various powder-coating products and anodizers that are utilized will determine the exact lead time for each product.
After the extrusion and fabrication operations are finished, the anodizing process involves coloring small or long pieces of extruded aluminum. This can be applied in short or large runs. Our clients have the option of clear, black, or multicolored anodizing in addition to unique color requests for finishing. Vibrant coatings may help with branding and make the final product visually appealing to customers. Our team of highly skilled and knowledgeable engineers and technicians will collaborate with the client to make sure that our services meet or surpass their expectations, regardless of the client’s goals.
