Interior Commercial Standard
A coating suitable for applications requiring reasonable
abrasion and corrosion resistance for parts not directly
exposed to the elements. The coating should be uniform in
appearance, and the film thickness shall be a minimum of .0001
inches to a maximum of .0002 inches.
Exterior Standard No. 1
A coating suitable for applications requiring reasonable
abrasion and corrosion resistance as applied to parts with a
limited exposure to the elements where the anodic coating is
periodically maintained. The coating should be uniform in
appearance, and the film thickness shall be a minimum of .0002
inches to a maximum of .0003 inches.
Exterior Standard No. 2
A coating suitable for applications requiring reasonable heavy
abrasion and corrosion resistance, with normal exposure to the
elements. The periodic maintenance of this coating is less
critical. The anodic coating shall be uniform in appearance,
and the film thickness shall be a minimum of .0003 inches to a
maximum of .0004 inches.
Specification
A coating where the application requires closer control of
film thickness and properties than the standard
specifications, and the special properties of the anodic
coating are extremely critical. The thickness of the anodic
coating and the appearance of the finish shall be in
accordance with specifications established between the
supplier and the customer.
Non-standard Flash
A coating suitable for application where abrasion and
corrosion resistance are not important, and the appearance is
non-critical. Film thickness shall be a maximum of .00009
inches. |
