Anodizing and Plating

Plouse offers anodizing and plating services to improve product quality and durability.

Anodizing

We provide the anodizing of products to increase corrosion and wear resistance, and provide better adhesion for paint primers and glues. Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. Anodization changes the microscopic texture of the surface and can change the crystal structure of the metal near the surface. Coatings are often porous, even when thick, so a sealing process is often needed to increase corrosion resistance.

Plating

Plouse also provides product plating to inhibit corrosion, improve solderability, harden, improve wearability, reduce friction, improve paint adhesion and alter conductivity. Plating describes surface-covering where a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. Coating a metal or other material such as plastic or ceramic with a hard, nonporous metallic surface improves durability and beauty.
