Products and Technologies

Anodizing with high-mix, low-volume production

Makeup on aluminum!

Anodizing process adjusted individually for each component

●Achieving the desired level of aesthetics

・Rich lineup of colorful variations: Five colors are available at all times for anodizing (aluminum anodizing): achromatic, black, red, gold and green.
・Duralumin treatment: Able to treat duralumin, which is generally regarded as unsuitable for anodizing, such as 2017 and A7075.
・Available sizes (mm): 500 W x 700 L x 550 H
・Available optional treatments: Buffing, blasting, chemical polishing, hairline finishing

●Value-added techniques developed by its expertise in treating metal surfaces

・Characteristics of aluminum materials: Although light and resistant to rust, aluminum is a soft material that can be easily scratched and is prone to corrosion in certain environments.

・In KOKUBU’s anodizing process, the material’s surface is coated with an oxidized film that is stronger and more durable than in its original state, transforming the aluminum material into one with even better resistance to wear and corrosion.

●Value-added techniques developed by its expertise in treating metal surfaces

・KOKUBU’s process: A direct current is applied to the product (stainless steel) as an anode in an electrolytic polishing solution to electrochemically dissolve the surface in microns.
・Treatment results: Protruding metal parts are dissolved first due to the properties of the electrolytic polishing solution, resulting in a smooth, glossy surface.
