Surface treatments
Sandblasting
For the right structure
Fijn
Sandblasting
Abresive blasting is a surface treatment that is used to apply a decorative, matte or textured finish on the surface of a product. By applying structure on the surface, the appearance of a product can be improved. Small imperfections, such as scratches, can be removed. Abresive blasting is a method used to make a product visually more interesting.
Plating

Plating
Chrome, nickel and copper plating is a surface treatment that is used to make products visually resemble other materials. Due to an electrical current, the products are provided with a thin layer of chrome, nickel or copper. In addition to the visual changes, mechanical properties such as corrosion resistance and wear resistance are improved.

Anodizing
Anodizing (NL:anodiseren) is een oppervlaktebehandeling die meestal wordt toegepast op aluminium. Wanneer aluminium wordt blootgesteld aan zuurstof, vormt zich een natuurlijke, dunnen oxide laag op het oppervlak. Met behulp van anodiseren wordt deze oxide laag verdikt en kan de structuur van de laag gecontroleerd worden. De oxide laag die door het anodiseren wordt gevormd is slijtvast, hard en goed bestand tegen corrosievorming. Doordat het oppervlak van de oxide laag microporeus kan zijn, kan het kleurstoffen goed absorberen; er ontstaat dan een aantrekkelijke metallic, gekleurde glans.
E-Coating
Corrosion-resistant coating in many colors

Elektrolyse
Electrophoretic coating (E-coating) is a surface treatment in which a product is coated with a desired color. Due to a chemical reaction, the products obtain a thin, uniform colored layer that is evenly distributed over the entire surface. The colored layer provides a good corrosion resistance.
Powdercoating
Long lasting results in many colors
Gloss

Powdercoating
Powder coating is a surface treatment that is often used as a decorative and protective finish, in which a product is provided with a desired color. It is an environmentally friendly process, because there is no loss of materials – excessive use of powder is recycled again. When applying the powder coating, the product is provided with a uniform distributed colored layer.
Spray Painting
Faster and cheaper results

Spray Painting
Spray painting is a surface treatment that, compared to powder coating, offers a relatively inexpensive alternative for decorative applications. While applying the paint, a uniform distributed colored layer is created on the surface of the product. Paint is available in a large array of different variants, taking in- and outdoor use, temperature resistance, surface finishing and the desired color into account.

Sputtering
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) sputtering is a technique used in thin-film deposition processes. In PVD sputtering, a solid material, known as the target, is bombarded with high-energy ions (usually from a plasma) in a vacuum chamber. This bombardment dislodges atoms or molecules from the target material, which then deposit onto a substrate, forming a thin film.
PVD sputtering is widely used in various industries for depositing thin films with precise thickness, composition, and properties. It is utilized in manufacturing processes for electronics, optics, semiconductors, decorative coatings, and more, due to its ability to produce high-quality, uniform thin films with excellent adhesion to substrates.
Passivation

Passivation
Passivation is a process used to protect metals from corrosion by forming a protective layer on the surface. For aluminum, this involves treating the surface to create a thin layer of aluminum oxide. This layer acts as a barrier that protects the underlying metal from oxidation and other forms of corrosion.
Passivation of aluminum is typically carried out by immersing the aluminum in a solution containing chemicals that aid in the formation of the protective oxide layer. The process can also be done electrochemically, using an electric current to accelerate the formation of the oxide layer.
This passivation treatment is commonly applied to aluminum components used in applications where corrosion could be an issue, such as in aviation, the automotive industry, and the construction of structures in coastal areas.
