Type III Anodizing (Coloring)
Technology
The anodizing 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.
