Before aluminum profiles receive their final color finish, they go through an important preparation stage — chromating.
Chromating is a special chemical pre-treatment process that prepares the aluminum surface before powder coating. This stage improves adhesion between the aluminum and the paint, creating a stronger, more durable bond.
As a result, the painted surface becomes more resistant to:
• Corrosion
• Moisture
• Peeling
• Scratches
• Everyday wear
In this video, you can see the chromated aluminum profiles by their yellow-toned surface. This yellow shade indicates that the aluminum has already gone through the chromating treatment process before painting.
After chromating, the profiles move to the powder-coating stage, where we create custom finishes for interior doors, glass partitions, sliding systems, and architectural solutions.
At IDC Aluminum Glass Systems, we work with European-quality finishing technologies and production standards.
Our finishing processes meet QUALICOAT certification standards — a European quality certification for aluminum surface treatment, powder coating, and anodizing.
Because quality is not only about design — it starts with the preparation of the material itself.
