Aluminium Anodizing in the UAE: What Is It and Why Does It Matter for Outdoor Projects?

The extreme conditions of the UAE like scorching temperatures, high humidity, and airborne salt particles prove detrimental to architectural projects causing traditional paints or standard coatings to fail. Eventually, they start to chip, fade, and finally, structural corrosion.Professional aluminium anodizing services in UAE can prevent that from happening.
AREXCO’s aluminium anodizing services in the UAE is fully designed to protect your aluminium structures from all the terrors of the outside environment – salt, UV and heat. Anodizing gives durability to the aluminum, along with a premium, low-maintenance finish and look.

Have a look at how aluminium anodizing services in UAE can meet the triple danger head-on

Meeting the danger posed by Salt and Humidity


The coastal atmosphere in the UAE is highly corrosive due to the high salinity in the UAE climate. And moisture cycling that can wreak havoc with aluminum if it is not properly treated. Moisture cycling is when humidity peaks at night followed by intense heat during the day.
The solution is possible only through products with perfect anodizing finishes in UAE. The anodizing process creates a thickened, impenetrable oxide layer that acts as a seal against the salt ions and moisture. This barrier seals the aluminium, protecting it from electrochemical corrosion. This works perfectly for curtain walls, window frames, and exterior cladding.


Fighting Off The Harmful UV Rays


Dubai has Intense, year-round sun exposure, and this can be detrimental to the products that are outdoors. This causes materials to fade, chalk, or become brittle. This can be really bad for architectural projects based on certain specific aesthetics. Anodizing is not like surface coating, because this allows the color to be absorbed into the porous oxide layer before being permanently sealed. So even if there is high levels of UV rays, that will not do much damage. Anodized finishes can come in various colors clear, bronze, or black, and these will not fade or chalk.


Better Structural Integrity


Structural integrity happens only when the materials can withstand physical wear and thermal stress. These materials will be able to handle large temperature swings without any issues for the long-term. This is because anodized layer is exceptionally hard, and provides protection against abrasion, scratches, and general wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. Anodized material will be resistant to cracking, peeling, and flaking. In fact they are so strong they can handle the extreme desert heat, and will be much better than in other varieties of liquid-applied coatings (these may not cope with the thermal expansion of metal).


Conclusion


AREXCO adheres strictly to international quality standards, and they undoubtedly deliver consistency across every profile. The thickness they provide for each project varies depending on the requirement, and they offer beyond standard architectural coating thickness for projects requiring maximum durability. This is mostly for projects built near the coastline or in heavy industrial environments.
Investing in AREXCO’s expertise would be a wise product because you will receive a finished product guaranteed for high-level corrosion resistance and longevity. Get in touch with them today to know more!
