Anodizing is the term for electrochemical processes in surface technology that create mechanically and chemically stable oxide layers on suitable metals. The word “anodizing” corresponds to the German term *Eloxieren*, derived from the initial...

How Degreasing Agents Are Used in Surface Pretreatment
Oils and greases temporarily protect metal surfaces from corrosion during storage and processing. Long-term corrosion protection, however, is only achieved through surface technology. Specialized coatings act as barriers, preventing environmental...
Surface Pre-Treatment
The adhesion of coatings and the durability of adhesive bonds depend largely on the condition of the surfaces involved. Pre-treatment gives a material the surface characteristics necessary for successful downstream processing. Surface treatment...
