Finishing Options for Moulded and Cast Parts
SPI
SPI
SPI finishes are a set of standard mould finishes with different polished textures for enhanced properties.
VDI
VDI
VDI is an international standard for mould texturing of matte surfaces. It is mainly processed by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) when mould machining.
Anodising (Type II)
Anodising (Type II)
Type II anodise provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Spray painting
Spray painting
Provides a continuous, protective color finish which is applied by spraying.
Powder coating
Powder coating
Provides a continuous, protective colour finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.
Custom
Custom
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually 1-2 business days.
