Products such as electric cars and smartphones rely on bauxite and other raw materials, which are therefore essential for the EU’s digital and ecological transformation. Nevertheless, the light metal aluminium, which is extracted from bauxite, was initially forgotten by the EU Commission as part of the Critical Raw Materials Act ...
Advantages and practical application of Alufinish Liquipower cleaner The question arises why a change from a solid cleaner to a liquid cleaner should be considered, especially if the previous cleaning solution already provides satisfactory results. Concerns are often expressed that liquid cleaners contain more chemicals. However, there are distinct advantages ...

Gold colouring baths based on ferrioxalates have been used successfully for decades to colour anodised components for interior and exterior applications. During the colouring process, the iron salts are then incorporated into the porous anodised layer by a simple dipping process. Depending on the amount of salts incorporated, the coloured ...
Occasionally, it arouses astonishment when, after anodising the products, profiles unexpectedly appear that show a differently pronounced iridescent colouring of greenish, reddish and violet tones. This phenomenon does not originate from a pioneering colouring technique, but is rather the result of challenges during anodising. What is the cause? The correct ...
Aluminium is one of the most widely used metals on our planet. It is light, corrosion-resistant and has many applications, from the packaging industry to aerospace. However, extracting aluminium from raw materials requires a lot of energy and leads to significant environmental impacts. Therefore, aluminium recycling is becoming more and ...
The aluminium sector is crucial in achieving Europe’s goals of a climate-neutral and circular economy. Aluminium is recyclable and suitable for multiple recycling. Why recycle aluminium? Aluminium can be recycled again and again without losing its original properties. The aluminium recycling process also requires only 5 % of the energy ...
It is well known in anodising operations that, over time, deposits accumulate on the plastic balls used to cover (minimise heat and evaporation loss) hot sealing baths. Unwanted white residue: a common problem that can be addressed These usually show up as white, crust-like residues that are deposited and strengthened ...
At a time when climate change is an ever-increasing threat, it is essential that companies take their responsibility and find sustainable solutions.
