Leading UK specialists in the surface treatment of aluminium and its alloys, London Colney Anodising offers a varied range of services including Sulphuric Acid Anodising in a range of 14 colours, Alocrom 100, 1000 & 1200, Irilac 1001 and mechanical polishing.

Sulphuric acid anodising is the most commonly used. It can produce a transparent film of optimum corrosion resistance. The film thickness would vary depending on the application, from between 3 & 25 microns; you would be advised as to the most suitable by our technical team.

With sulphuric acid anodising a dye can be deposited into the top surface of the anodic film. The application of this type of anodising is very widespread with interior fittings and fancy goods taking advantage of the great range of bright colours available.

At LCA we offer Alocrom 100, 1000 & 1200, which give a complex chromate film over the entire surface of the aluminium. 

Alocrom 100 - Bluish/green coating which is very durable and ideal for protecting against oxidation even in humid conditions. It has a low electrical conductivity.

Alocrom 1000 - Clear coating which gives a high electrical conductivity, but with less durability than alocrom 100 or alocrom 1200.

Alocrom 1200 - Iridescent gold coating giving medium electrical conductivity and good durability with a good key for painting.
