ANO-TALK: All Things Anodizing

Learn about aluminum anodizing, the technology that makes aluminum look like aluminum and stay in good shape, in things from window frames and jet planes to your iPhone. Join George, Tej, Nathan, and Mark from the Aluminum Anodizers Council, with guest speakers talking about topics from process best practices to regulatory issues to environmental impact to Where is anodization even used? Tune in if you’re an anodizer, or you want to use anodizing to put color in your aluminum, or if you just think running loads of electricity through metal and acid sounds fun.

    Tin Electrolytic Coloring with Pinakin Patel

    Tin Electrolytic Coloring with Pinakin Patel  Electrolytic (or two-step) coloring is one of the most durable metal coloring methods on the market, even outperforming paint. Electrolytic coloring is primarily used on extruded aluminum parts for the architectural (store front), and automotive trim industries due to its durability. Our hosts Tej Patel of Techevon LLC and George Oh of Quaker Houghton discuss the process of tin electrolytic coloring with Pinakin Patel, owner of Techevon LLC, a global anodizing chemistry supplier in Chicago, IL. Electrolytic coloring, as noted by our hosts, is a combination of “science, sorcery, and luck”. Pinakin describes the basic science and history of electrolytic coloring and colors available for aluminum anodizing. One of the biggest advantages of electrolytic coloring is its light- and weather-fastness. In this episode, Pinakin focuses on the tin electrolytic coloring method and specific equipment, chemicals and processes that need to be considered to ensure consistent color.
