PROCESSES

FINISHES ENGINEERED TO LAST

Every anodizing job starts with the right process for the part — and the right line for its size. NIA runs two dedicated lines capable of handling parts from small precision components to architectural extrusions up to 27.5 feet long, across four core processes.

SULFURIC ANODIZING

A FINISH THAT GOES BEYOND THE SURFACE

Type II and Type III anodizing for corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and color. Available for both long-length architectural work and precision machined components.

  • Large aluminum components
  • Long extrusions
  • Architectural parts
  • High-volume production runs

ELECTROLYTIC ANODIZING

A FINISH THAT GOES BEYOND THE SURFACE

2-step electrolytic anodizing for architectural applications — AAMA 611-compliant finishes with consistent, long-lasting color on extrusions up to 27.5 feet.

  • Large aluminum components
  • Long extrusions
  • Architectural parts
  • High-volume production runs

MORE THAN A FINISH

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that transforms the surface of aluminum into a durable, corrosion-resistant oxide layer. Unlike paint or other coatings that sit on top of the metal, anodizing becomes an integral part of the aluminum itself.

The result is a finish that can provide corrosion resistance, durability, wear resistance, and a consistent appearance while maintaining the natural properties of aluminum.

From architectural finishes to high-performance industrial components, anodizing helps aluminum perform—and look its best.

PTFE

A FINISH THAT GOES BEYOND THE SURFACE

Dry-film lubrication applied over an anodized surface for parts requiring reduced friction, non-stick properties, or added corrosion resistance.

A FINISH THAT GOES BEYOND THE SURFACE

NIA specializes in the finishes architects and manufacturers ask for most: clear, black, and bronze. Need something outside these three? We also offer custom color matching to meet specific project or brand requirements.
