Features & Benefits
Anolok® II Blue-Grey helps to meet the growing demand for attractive, natural lustre, corrosion-resistant finishes. The latest addition to the range is Stone-Grey. This living natural colour, with its metallic, warm appearance, is particularly attractive when married with stone bricks, terracotta, or other natural architectural materials.
A key benefit of Anolok® II Grey is its proven performance on buildings over many years. To objectively evaluate this performance, we recently commissioned a detailed site survey of some of our more important projects. The results of this survey are extremely positive and are available on request. The results have enabled us to offer a Lifetime Guarantee on all our Anolok® II Blue-Grey products, including Stone Grey.
Five fade-free Anolok® II blue-grey finishes
Each finish provides enduring lustre, exceptional surface durability, and corrosion resistance—ensuring lasting colour stability for visually striking and resilient architectural exteriors for the lifetime of the facade.

Anodising Process
The Unicol Anolok® II Stone Grey colour is, as is our full range of Blue-Grey colours, created using the technique of light interference. Since no dyes are used, this produces a colour which is totally fade-free, not just fade-resistant. In addition, this new colour exhibits all the proven benefits of anodising.
United Anodisers’ interference colouring process has been proven in the only convincing way - through many years of problem-free service. As such, our Anolok® II range is guaranteed for the lifetime of the building cladding and will substantially outperform all organic coatings and alternative anodising processes.
Unicol Colour Matching
United Anodisers is the only company in Europe with the latest Japanese UNICOL colour matching technology in the Anolok® anodising unit. This technology uses pulsed square wave current, instead of the traditional but less efficient alternating current method, to deposit the metal into the pores of the anodic film, thus creating the interference colouring effect, with dramatically improved colour matching. This permits tight colour limits to be assured.
With our Anolok® and Organic Colour ranges in batch, electrolytic and organic colouring in continuous production, United Anodisers can offer more architecturally approved anodising colours than any other anodiser in the world. Our technical support services will be pleased to provide comprehensive details and advice on the selection, processing and application of a full range of treatments.

Materials
Because the Anolok® II Blue-Grey finishes are carried out after the normal sulphuric acid anodising film is produced, all standard architectural aluminium alloys can be anodised to Anolok® II Blue-Grey specifications. This includes the normal range of 6060/6062/6063 aluminium extrusions.
For sheet metal requirements, United Anodisers strongly recommends the use of a high quality, architectural grade, 5005AQ alloy with guaranteed gloss tolerances such as Novelis J57sUP and Aluminium Duffel 55HX. We will be pleased to advise on suitable sources of supply.
