Terra-ColorAL – process

Creative anodised shades in wood and earth hues

What is the Terra-ColorAL process? 

The Terra-ColorAL Process is an electrolytic two-step colouring process for creating typical wood and earth shades subsequent to anodising. The process is similar to the conventional tin colouring technique and is achieved with the two-component product Alficolor 650 and Alficolor 651.

Advantages:

Anodised colours in wood and earth shades

Electrolytically dyed, thus high colour stability

Two-component system enables a wide range of colour variants

Numerous colour variations possible by modifying c, t, T and acidity

Can be easily integrated into existing facilities

Plant equipment for colouring tin can be used

Individual components can be analysed


Simple operation for several colour variations
