Electroplating & Anodizing

TITANIUM ANODIZE


Anodizing of titanium generates a wide array of colors without applying an organic dye or artificial coating to the surface of the metal. It is an electrolytic process that slightly manipulates the native oxide layer of the titanium, generating a perceived color. As the molecules of the oxide layer are increased in thickness, light entering the layer refracts at different angles, resulting in the color we see, similar to how a prism works. The color perceived through the oxide layer will not change, fade or discolor over time. Since we are simply observing a perceived color, the base substrate of the titanium remains unchanged and the oxide layer stable and passive. Please call for more information on our capabilities.
