Along with Alocrom plating and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dorsetware.com\/finishes\/iridite-ncp\/\">Iridite NCP plating<\/a>, anodized coatings provide aluminium with a range of enhancements \u2013 from corrosion and wear protection to electrical insulation.<\/p>\n<p>Anodosing involves turning the surface of an aluminium product, item or object into a thicker layer of aluminium oxide. Oxides can form naturally but this method of electroplating uses a controlled environment to form the thicker finish. As a standard, aluminium Anodosing produces a silver finish, but during the oxidation process, dyes can be added to change the colour of the coating that forms.<\/p>\n<p>Alocrom plating, also known as chromate conversion coatings, is a slight variation of aluminium anodosing whereby the coating\u2019s end result provides a greater level of corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the final coating provides a low electrical resistance. Chromate conversion coatings or Alocrom 1200 and 1000 is most commonly used as a base coat to provide protection before painting.<\/p>\n<p>Dorsetware also offers Iridite NCP plating. Iridite NCP coating is an alternative to chromate conversion coating as it does not contain lead or hexavalent chromium.
