How to Dye Anodized Aluminium using DaygloAluminum Dyes

DaygloAluminum dyes provide a wide range of colours for type I, II, and III anodized aluminium. DaygloAluminum dyes are suited for many different applications such as jewellery, architectural, Military, automotive parts, office accessories, transportation, sporting equipment, electronics and Medical equipment. Dayglo offers technical support including custom shade-matching and Trouble shooting.

Application Procedure for DaygloAluminum Dyes

  • Basic equipment necessary includes rinse tanks, dye tank, and a sealing tank. All tanks must be of an inert material such as stainless steel or plastic.
  • Oil traps should be used to prevent contamination of dye solution.
  • It is important to dye immediately after rinsing of freshly anodized aluminium. It is best practice to use three separate rinse tanks.
  • Add aluminium into dye bath set at 140°F and proper pH. pH can be adjusted using Acetic Acid to lower pH and Sodium Acetate or Sodium Hydroxide to raise pH.
  • Run aluminium in dye bath for desired amount of time, typically ~10 minutes with good dye bath agitation to promote levelness.
  • Move the aluminium to the hot sealing tank bath set at 200°F and containing 0.5% Nickel Acetate for 10-25 minutes.
  • If necessary, use 0.5% Boric Acid to minimize smutty deposits.
  • During sealing, pH should not go below 5.3 as the dye will leach from the microscopic pores of the oxidized layer.
