Anodizing

Flannery offers several different finishes for its aluminum trims. The standard Flannery finish is Clear Anodized (Architectural 200R1). The Clear Anodized finish is an electrochemical conversion process that deposits an oxide film on the aluminum trim. A natural oxidation process occurs on bare aluminum, however producing the oxidation process artificially creates a thicker, harder, and more durable “oxide film.” Clear Anodized is an extremely durable finish and is resistant to most forms of corrosion.

Special Color Anodized finishes are also available if required. Gold Anodized, Black Anodized, and Bronze Anodized finishes can be ordered. Bronze Anodized can be ordered in three different colors, Light, Medium, and Dark. Please note: Color Anodized Finishes can vary from one piece of trim to another. This is one of the characteristics to the anodizing process and must be considered before any orders are placed. Typically, the color of the anodizing will fall within a certain range, which usually can be determined prior to anodizing. Check with Flannery for details.

Chemical Conversion Coat Finish (Alodine)

Chem-film/Alodine is a chemical conversion process that prepares aluminum extrusions for field painting. It is a        multi-step cleaning and aluminum preparation process. First, it cleans the aluminum trim and then it acts as a protective coating until primer and paint can be applied. If your job requires field painting, a chemical conversion coating should be specified.

Specifications

Chem-film/Alodine- Treatment of aluminum moldings to conform with ASTM D 1730 Type B and MIL-C-5541A.

Kynar® Paint Finishes

Kynar® is a 70% fluropolymer resin based 2-coat baked on paint that is offered by Flannery as an optional finish where high durability is needed or an existing color must be matched. Kynar® finishes are highly resistant to chalking and    ultraviolet deterioration. They are also highly resistant to chemicals, salt spray, and industrial pollutants. Flannery       recommends these finishes for trims on exteriors in harsh environments including coastal areas where salt air is most common. Kynar® paint finishes are available in custom colors. Please note that some finishes will require a Kynar® XL (with topcoat) finish due to the exotic nature of the color. Please have the color code or sample available when requesting a quote for these custom colors.
