Finishes

Mill
The aluminum extrusion is as extruded

Loxite
The aluminum extrusion is polished to a high luster and clear anodized. Lengths to 24'. (Equals AA-M10-M22-A21, 31, or 41)

Loxite Gold
The aluminum extrusion is polished to a high luster, anodized and dyed gold. Lengths to 24'. (Equals AA-M10-M22-A23, 33, 43 or A21, 31, 41.

Polish
Die lines are removed by a mechanical buffing process using a special polishing compound that imparts a high luster to the surface. The aluminum extrusion is not anodized and is subject to further oxidation. Lengths to 24'. (Equals AA-M10-M22)

Super Satin
The aluminum extrusion is chemically etched (R1) and clear anodized. This finish is also available in a gold finish as Satin Gold. Lengths to 28' hollows, 31' solids. (Equals AA-M10-C22-A21, 31, or 41)

Buff Satin
The aluminum extrusion is mechanically buffed, chemically etched (R1) and clear anodized. This finish is also available in a buff gold finish as Buff Satin Gold. Lengths to 28' hollows, 31' solids. (Equals AA-M10-M22-C22-A21, 31, or 41)

Mill Brite
The aluminum extrusion is chemically brightened (R5) and clear anodized. This finish is also available in gold and bronze finishes as Mill Brite Gold and Antique Mill Brite Gold. Lengths to 28' hollows, 30' solids. (Equals AA-M10-C31-A21, 31, or 41)

Buff Brite
The aluminum extrusion is mechanically buffed, chemically brightened and clear anodized. This finish is also available in gold and bronze finishes as Buff Brite Gold and Antique Buff Brite Gold. Lengths to 28' hollows, 30' solids. (Equals AA-M10-M22-C31-A21, 31, or 41)

Electrolytic Coloring (2-Step)
In the first step, the aluminum extrusion is clear anodized using conventional sulfuric anodizing. In the second step, the color is electrolytically deposited into the anodic pore. Colors range from champagne to black. 2-Step finish is much more resistant to fading than conventional color anodizing. However, some variation in color is unavoidable because of process variables. Lengths to 30'. (Equals AA-M10-C22-A24, 34, or 44)

Dyes
Black, brown, champagne, nickel and others subject to supply.

Paint
The aluminum extrusion is cleaned and treated with a conversion coating. The paint is then electrostatically applied and cured in a high temp oven. Lengths to 24' (Standard colors meet AAMA 603.8 specifications.)

Brushing
Flat, radius and spiral (for tubes).

IMPORTANT
Some gold and bronze anodized finishes are not colorfast when exposed to UV. Consider end use (inside or outside application) when selecting a finish. Review your needs with your Loxcreen sales representative.
