Advantages of clear aluminium anodizing:
- pollution and corrosion resistance
- high wear resistance and UV resistance
- electrical non-conductivity
- possibility of additional coloring of the layer that does not change the dimensions of the part and obtains a stable uniform shade

Types:
- Non-colored - anodized layer has a silver-gray tint that is finely toned according to the alloy used.
- Black anodized – anodized coating is additionally dyed with black organic paint.
- Electrolytically colored - anodized layer is electrolytically colored to C1-C35 - colors from gray to bronze and black.
- INOX color - anodized layer colored to the final appearance as stainless steel.
