Anodization has made aluminum shet a widely used and respected material in the production of commercial, consumer, and industrial products. This is because of the following reasons:

Extra protection: compared to its standard counterpart, anodized aluminum sheet is less likely to rust when exposed to corrosion-inhibiting elements (salt, air, and moisture). The extra layer of oxide offers a higher level of corrosion resistance.

Integrity: apart from corrosion-resistance, anodized aluminum cannot chip, peel, blister, or flake.

UV resistance: anodizing finishes have better resistance to sunlight.

Low-maintenance: it is relatively cheaper to maintain anodized aluminum over the years since it can be renewed by cleaning. The oxide layer can be effortlessly restored after long years of use.

Decorative properties: anodized aluminum sheet has a deep, rich metallic appearance that makes it highly decorative. The anodizing coating is translucent meaning the metal underneath is still visible through it.

Increased adhesion: the oxide layer has deeper pores that offer greater adhesion. Primers, adhesives, and other liquids easily flow through the pores.

Better lubrication: in addition to increased adhesion, the deep pores of anodized aluminum sheet allow for better retention of lubricant film or oil.

Eco-friendliness: anodized aluminum sheet produces few (if any) harmful substances to the environment.

Dyeing and pre-treatments: anodization lends aluminum to a number of processes. This includes dyeing and pre-treatments done to enhance the material further.
