Anolok® Bronze
United Anodisers operates the Anolok® process, where the colour is developed electrolytically by depositing cobalt metal into the porous film. Increasing the amount of cobalt deposited gives shades of bronze from pale bronze right through to black.
Light scatter produces the colours, and this method of production ensures that the colours obtained are completely fade-free.

Features & Benefits
The Anolok® Bronze range embodies an authentic metallic sheen, lustre and feel with exceptional durability, enhancing the innate strength of aluminium against corrosion. With a variety of shades and patterns that do not compromise UV resistance, our bronze and black finishes, achieved using cobalt through the Anolok® method, surpass alternative options in numerous ways:

In the widest range of colours.
The majority of metals are unsuitable for electro-colouring, the choice being restricted to cobalt, tin or nickel. Although perfectly satisfactory results can be obtained with tin, processing is more difficult to control, particularly in the darker shades. Deposition can grow to the extent where the pores are difficult to seal and deterioration in a short space of time can result. The tin electrolyte is also highly acidic, which can lead to dissolution and increases the risk of poor abrasion resistance.
With a nickel based colouring solution production of dark bronze is difficult and black is impossible. Therefore Anolok® colouring using cobalt is the safest of all the commercially available bronze anodising processes.

Anolok® Bronze History
Anolok® colouring was commercialised in the mid 1960's in Japan. United Anodisers was granted an Anolok® license in 1971 by Alcan International and has processed more Anolok® bronze anodising than any company in the world outside Japan. Anolok®, is now a registered trademark of United Anodisers Limited.
In 1987, we introduced the Japanese "Unicol" colour matching technology into our colour anodising process. This dramatically improves the colour match piece to piece and is the only unit in Europe.
Suitable for aluminium panels and sheets, perforated sheets and meshes, curtain walls and windows.
