ANODIZED ALUMINUM finishes meet the precise needs of a wide range of applications. From a precision component critical to the operation of a spacecraft, to medical device cases and trays, and even textured knobs for control panels on commercial aircraft...from machined parts subject to abrasive wear, to brightly colored consumer products, anodizing can economically add necessary operating characteristics and eye appeal. Anodized coatings stand up well to extremes of heat and weather where products are to be used outdoors.

STANDARD ANODIZING (SULFURIC ACID TYPE II) - The most common and cost-effective anodizing process. Provides excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance. Except for die castings, these coatings are easily dyed a wide range of colors.

HARD ANODIZING (TYPE III) - Hardness equal to hard chrome plating is easily attainable. These coatings accept black dyes well, while lighter colors are available on thinner coatings. Type III provides excellent wear resistance and heat dissipation. This coating has an outstanding ability to absorb a variety of lubricants and is, therefore, recommended where friction is a factor

FULL COLOR DEEP IMAGE PROCESSING - This exclusive Danco technique can reproduce any full color picture or graphic with all of its shadings in near photo-quality resolution. Brilliant colors, ranging from subtle to bold, can be faithfully anodized into a long-lasting wear-resistant product. In many instances, the product's "exclusivity" and sales-appeal is enhanced, and it's perceived value is increased.

The full color graphic on this knife handle will not only stand up to heavy-duty use for many years to come, but will almost guarantee the knife will become a collector's item.

From ducks to hot air balloons, product or people pictures, company logos, almost anything imaginable, can be economically reproduced on plaques, premiums, or product components by this Danco full color, full spectrum anodizing process.

The bright blues, and undulating reds, are offset by the clear anodized background, giving the perceived look of the American flag in its red, white and blue splendor.

Almost any size or shape can be economically produced. Business cards, meeting invitations, cases and trays, and special event passes are just a few of the applications which can take advantage of this attention, and prestige-building technique.
