The maintenance of color anodizing is crucial for preventing fading. Here are some key maintenance measures to ensure that the colored anodized layer remains bright and long-lasting:
1、 Environmental control
Avoid direct sunlight exposure: Long term exposure to strong sunlight can accelerate the fading of the oxide film due to ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, colored anodized products should be placed in a place away from direct sunlight
Control temperature and humidity: Keep the environmental temperature and humidity moderate, avoiding extreme temperature changes or high humidity. The drastic changes in temperature and humidity may cause damage to the oxide film, thereby affecting the stability of the color
2、 Daily cleaning
Use neutral cleaning agents: When cleaning colored anodized products, clean water or neutral cleaning agents should be used, and strong acids, alkalis, or corrosive cleaning agents should be avoided. These cleaning agents may damage the oxide film and cause color fading
Gentle wiping: Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe the surface of the product, avoiding rough brushes or scratching to prevent scratching or abrasion of the oxide film
3、 Avoid contact with chemical substances
Stay away from corrosive substances: Ensure that colored anodized products do not come into contact with corrosive liquids, gases, or chemicals such as acids, bases, solvents, etc. These substances may corrode the oxide film, causing color fading or surface damage
4、 Professional maintenance and upkeep
Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly inspect colored anodized products to ensure that the oxide film is intact and undamaged. If scratches, wear or fading signs are found on the oxide film, professional personnel should be contacted in a timely manner for repair or re anodizing treatment
Professional maintenance advice: Consult anodizing treatment manufacturers or professional maintenance organizations to learn more about maintenance methods and precautions for colored anodizing products
5、 Other precautions
Avoid physical impact: Protect colored anodized products from physical impact or impact to prevent damage to the oxide film and color layer
Proper storage: When storing colored anodized products, ensure that they are in a dry, ventilated, and sun protected environment. At the same time, direct contact between the product and hard objects should be avoided to prevent scratches or wear
In summary, by controlling the environment, daily cleaning, avoiding contact with chemicals, professional maintenance and upkeep, and paying attention to other matters, colored anodized products can be effectively maintained to prevent fading and maintain their bright color and appearance
