Buffing Polishing the aluminum surface to achieve a smooth, reflective finish.
Chem-Film Applying a chemical conversion coating to improve corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.
Heavy Etching Creating textured surfaces for decorative purposes or improved adhesion.
Military-Grade Finishes Providing finishes that meet stringent military specifications for durability and performance.
Scotch Brite Utilizing a non-woven abrasive pad to clean and finish the aluminum surface, resulting in a uniform matte appearance.
Stain Clear Applying a clear protective coating to maintain the aluminum's natural appearance while enhancing its resistance to staining and corrosion.
These services are designed to meet various industries' specific requirements, including aerospace, medical, lighting and interiors, and firearms.
