Century Aluminium of Dumfriesshire has built an aluminium anodizing plant which is capable of providing anodized finishes in natural silver, satin etched or mechanically polished to a depth of from 5 to 25 microns which can be flash anodized to 2 microns.
Century aluminium extrusion presses are capable of producing profiles up to 7in. wide. Anodizing is carried out to British Standard 1615, while thickness and seal quality of the anodic film are tested with a BS meter.
A new press will enable precision and miniature extrusions to be produced in aluminium with standard limits on metal thickness of + 0.1mm or + 0.05mm in special cases. Made by: Century Aluminium Co Ltd, Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
