How durable are dyed anodized components?
Anodized films are chemically bonded to the surface and do not flake or peel. Colours are introduced by dyeing after anodizing which fill the microscopic pores in the anodized surface which are then filled with a sealer that hydrolyses the pores to create a smooth durable surface. The colours produced are long lasting and resistant to ultra violet light degradation. Certain colours are more resistant than others and if components are to be subject to a harsh environment, we will be pleased to advise on the most suitable colours.
