From Prototype to Mass Production—No Job Too Big or Too Small

Chromic Anodize creates a thin, corrosion-resistant oxide layer on aluminum, ideal for parts requiring flexibility and corrosion resistance. In commercial applications, it’s used for architectural components; in marine, for boat fittings; in medical, for non-critical equipment parts; in electronics, for enclosures; and in automotive, for trim pieces. CMF offers multiple seals (Hot Water, Nickel Acetate, Dichromate, PTFE).
