Make Your Parts Look Decorative and Durable!

Alpha Metal Finishing provides rapid turnaround, color anodizing for parts that have a specific requirement or just need to have a particular decorative look. Aluminum components can be dyed during the anodizing process to produce luxurious finishes with a deep color that can only be imitated by paint.

Alpha works with a number of medical device, electronics, and sporting goods manufacturers who require consistent, high quality results. All of our dyes are organic, with the exception of gold, and meet the highest standards for color fastness, heat fastness and light fastness. Most of the color dyes we offer are metal free.

Can You Color Match?

Anodizing with dye color is not the same as paint or powder coating. Color and shade can vary depending on the part: different alloys, finish texture and the process of anodizing will alter colors and shade. In color dye processing there are multiple variables:

• Anodic coating thickness
• Type of dye
• Temperature of solutions
• Concentration of solutions
• Type of etch used
• Time in each process
• Size of the load on the rack
• Current density variation

We monitor and measure these variables as tightly as possible. Because of the challenge in perfectly matching color and shade in the anodizing process, it is Alpha's policy to establish an acceptable color range for each part with our customers (light, medium, dark). In order for us to provide you with the best possible color match, we recommend that parts assembled on the same product be anodized at the same time.
