We apply finishes to your product; through the anodized aluminum process and a powder coating application, the best of what the industrial paint can provide
Functionality & aesthetics
Unique anodized aluminum and industrial paint processes that optimize your product
We improve the appearance of each of the aluminum profiles
Protection
Anodizing process for the development of your product
Precision in every aluminum profile
What do you get out of this process?
- Corrosion protection
- Resistance to surface abrasion of treated aluminum
- A variety of thicknesses and durability/product warranty
- Electrolytes
- The current supplied
- Temperature
- Duration of application
Integral
- Degreasing, eliminating all types of oil, mineral or vegetable that exist in the profile
- Rinse, removing residues from the previous procedure
- Shading, making a covering with sodium hydroxide, eliminating all types of rust
- Neutralization, we exclude any waste and stop the attack of sodium hydroxide, chemically activating the profile for optimal anodizing
- We apply an electrolyte bath with a current density of 150 amps per square meter
- We use this bath in a sulfuric acid solution between 180 and 200 grams per liter
- We carry out this process at a temperature between 19 and 21°C, generating an oxide layer
- At the time of electro coloring, we place tin to obtain colors such as black, bronze or natural
- We sealed the pore where the electro color was applied
- We transfer it to the packaging corresponding to the aluminum profile
- We carry out the tests based on our QUALANOD certification
- The thickness is measured
- We carry out the sealing tests and verification of color layers
- We do the extrusion test, eliminating situations in the installation or use of the product
Color
Exclusive paint system that provides corrosion resistance and appearance to each product
Types of paint
- Durable paints AMMA 2603 O Qualicoat class 1, guaranteed one year
- Ultra Durable AMMA 2604 or Qualicoat class 2, guaranteed five years
- Durable AMMA 2605 or Qualicoat class 3, which guarantees 15 years with minimum loss of gloss under standard conditions
Recycling
Three powder coating plants
- Vertical, the aluminum profile enters vertically, giving flexibility to products of greater lengths
- Horizontal, painting the extrusion horizontally, this is the most versatile line for our clients
- Carrousel, mainly used for small parts or accessories, high versatility with fast color change in a reduced footprint
- Carrousel's second paint line with an estimated start-up in early 2021
The essential
- Degreasing, cleaning all residues from the part optimally
- Rinse, to facilitate the adhesion of the paint when entering the oven
- Non-chromic conversion, providing chromium-free products
- Drying, taking it to the oven where the paint fuses and adheres optimally, giving durability

We obtained the above certifications for excellence in our products’ processes and quality: We operate under The Aluminum Association regulations.
Certified with Qualicoat
Qualicoat is our most relevant certification in anodizing and aluminum painting, with more than 30 years in the industry. It maintains and promotes the quality of aluminum finishing. It provides a full array of quantitative and qualitative tests to evaluate the surface protection level of our finishes.
We evaluate with Qualicoat test standards of impact, adhesion, bending, and boiling water. This assures the reduction of costs in the future life of aluminum extrusions. The performances of the finishes we supply is determined by the level of quality expected by the customer. Our materials carry these certifications and documentation in our library will confirm our compliance.
