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
