Clear anodizing offers a transparent protective layer, preserving aluminum’s metallic sheen while adding durability. Architectural façades use it to resist pollution and weathering without altering aesthetics. In food processing, the non-toxic, easy-to-clean surface meets FDA standards. Optical equipment manufacturers rely on its anti-reflective properties for precision instruments. Unlike powder coating, the finish won’t peel or yellow under UV exposure. Combining it with physical vapor deposition (PVD) can further enhance scratch resistance. For prototyping, clear anodizing ensures parts meet visual inspection criteria before mass production.
