Spilon Dyes
Application 1〜Aluminum Coloring

Consider, for example, digital camera, cellular phone, or digital audio player are usually made of lightweight, easy-to-process aluminum, and it has now become the norm for them to come in red, blue, and a variety of other vibrant colors.

These colors are created using aluminum dyes.
Aluminum dyes color metal, producing the characteristic rich colors shown in the photograph. A number of chemicals are combined with the dye to color the aluminum.

The Aluminum Coloring Process

The technical expertise and high levels of quality we have achieved as a result of our long experience with dyes allow us to handle even seemingly difficult materials such as aluminum.
