Variety of Options to Suit Your Needs
In-House Anodizing
80/20’s standard finishing process begins with the raw aluminum product; we machine the part, vibratory finish and/or sand it (depending on the item), and then move it into the anodize-coating process. The parts are given a visual inspection through each stage of the process to ensure high-quality and a consistent finish. It’s worth noting that 80/20 is one of the only T-slot providers in the industry with in-house anodizing capabilities.
Layer of Protection
Anodizing adds a protective coating on the surface of aluminum. This increases the longevity of the product as well as provides a more aesthetic appearance. The anodize results in a strong, hard, durable, weather-resistant barrier that doesn’t oxidize and is resistant to corrosion. It holds up against abrasive cleaners and is perfect in high use applications. It is also unaffected by sunlight and durable in the elements.
