Anodizing is used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts, to increase resistance to corrosion and wear, and to provide better adhesion for paint primers and glues. Color measurement provides a quality check for proper electrolytic passivation processes, and HunterLab provides just the right color measurement solutions to meet the quality standards for anodized metal, providing manufacturers quantitative values to accurately evaluate the quality of their products.
