What's Anodizing?
The anodizing process is a metal surface treatment technology most commonly used for aluminum and aluminum alloys. The main principle of this process involves placing the metal product as the anode in a specific electrolyte solution. Through electrolysis, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the product, thereby imparting protective and aesthetic characteristics.
The anodizing process at FirstMold comes from our stable suppliers with whom we’ve partnered for over a decade. They are efficient, high-quality, and affordable, capable of meeting your metal parts’ appearance requirements.

Advantages of Anodizing for Your Product
Improve Corrosion Resistance
It forms a protective aluminum oxide film that prevents further oxidation
Improve Wear Resistance
It enhances wear resistance by creating a hard oxide film that reduces scratches and wear.
Improve Insulation
It can provide electrical insulation with a non-conductive oxide film for applications requiring insulation.
