Anodizing of dental components (Type III)
Technology
The anodization type III (coloring) is performed in diluted acid. The titanium oxide film that is produced works as an optical interference filter.
By varying the thickness of the coating all the colors of the rainbow can be produced. The standard colors produced are red, blue, yellow and green. Customers can also select from a larger range of colors.
Properties
- Coating thickness: 20–200 nm (depending on color)
- Roughness Ra: ≤ 0.05 µm (on polished surface)
- Better identification of size
