Lorin Industries, Inc., the global industry leader in the innovation and production of coil anodized aluminum, highlights their leading product, ClearMatt®, ideal for use in consumer goods products needing an aesthetic and durable finish.

Many consumer goods require a durable surface to handle the variety of uses and environments in which they will be used. That is where anodized aluminum from Lorin comes into play. Lorin’s coil anodizing process builds an anodic layer from the aluminum, bonding it to the surface at the molecular level, thus protecting the aluminum from the elements. The anodized aluminum will not chip, flake, peel, or corrode and also resists scratching. With a surface hardness, as measured on the Mohs Hardness scale, comparable to sapphire, and corrosion resistance that leaves the metal unaffected by salt and air, Lorin’s coil anodized aluminum provides durable beauty that cuts maintenance costs while providing added environmental benefits.

Compared with coated or painted metals, which are often used on consumer goods, Lorin’s ClearMatt anodized aluminum provides a true metallic feel and at the same time it will not chip, flake, or peel. Beyond its durability and performance, the 3-dimensional oxide layer is translucent, accentuating the metal surface below. And the crystalline sapphire structure of the anodic layer also reflects and refracts light just like a sapphire to enhance the beauty of any surface. Additionally, anodized aluminum weighs significantly less than stainless steel or other metals, making it easier to handle and providing excellent cost savings.

ClearMatt® anodized aluminum can be used for a wide range of consumer goods applications, including suitcases, lighting, electronics, and more. Anodized aluminum delivers brilliant, natural metal aesthetics, as well as unmatched durability and maintenance ease.
