Anodizing Aluminium

Post by Whspa »

What dyes do people use for colouring anodized aluminium?
My HT just uses food dye, but it washes off.
I haven't watched the process, so I don't know exactly what she is doing.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hi Carol,

Try the following website. http://www.creative-chemistry.org.uk
There is a practical on anodising aluminium with a downloadable file that includes student notes, teacher notes and technician notes. It is worth checking out as is the general site itself.

Lyn.
