Galvanising
Galvanising is an electrolytic process. In the galvanising process, metal is usually deposited from metal salt solutions using a current source and chemical aids. Galvanising is an electrochemical process for refining the base material (e.g., nickel plating, chrome plating, gold plating, etc.).

Eloxal (anodising)
Eloxal is an abbreviation and stands for electrolytic oxidation of aluminium. Anodising usually works through the use of direct current in sulphuric acid or oxalic acid electrolytes. The aluminium is thereby switched as an anode, so the method is also known as "anodising".

Hot-dip zinc
The process of hot-dip galvanising is simple, but the metallurgical processes used during the process are very complex. In hot-dip galvanising, steel parts are immersed in molten zinc. The thermal reaction between iron and zinc produces a solid and durable zinc layer that is permanently bonded to the base material, which protects the steel from corrosion.

Organic coating
Powder coating is a painting process in which electrostatically charged paint powder particles are attracted to the metal surface. The curing process at approx. 200° Celsius results in a resistant paint layer that is approx. 80 µ thick. The appearance can be influenced by a variety of colours, textures and special effects.
