Anomatch™ vs Anodising

Anomatch has excellent colour stability and batch to batch consistency.
The finishes are matt (30%) and deep matt (8%) with a smooth velvet finish.

Increase design freedom with the strength of steel plus lustrous appearance of Anomatch.
Differences in the underlying metal do not affect the appearance of Anomatch.
Different metals in a fabrication will have the same appearance.

Less expensive aluminium can be used as Anomatch will give the same finish on all grades of aluminium.

Anomatch can be handled in the same way as powder coating.

There are no extended lead times for application of Anomatch.

The Anomatch range covers ranges of bronze, blue/grey, golds, silver and some colours.

Guarantees up to 40-years.

Colour can be inconsistent across adjoining panels.
The shade achieved depends on the base metal.
Batch to batch colour consistency is poor as process is variable.
No international colour standards.
Replacement anodised panels may not match the original.

Anodising grade aluminium needs to be stocked which increases stockholding.
Scratches in the metal will show through to the surface if lower grade aluminium is used. 

Anodising needs secure electrical connection which leaves large witness marks.
Colour may change across the surface of complex shapes

The anodised surface is brittle – it may fracture if it cut or drilled.

Lead-times for architectural applications tend to be longer than for powder coating.

Anomatch guarantees are up to 40-years.
