Automated Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising (TSA)

Automated Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising (TSA)

Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising (TSA) provides exceptional corrosion resistance and has excellent paint bonding properties to a wide range of aluminium alloys.

Commonly used for aerospace applications, TSA has less environmental impact than chromic acid anodising due to its chemical makeup. The addition of an EU directive has led to the use of TSA widening as manufacturers phase out chromic acid anodising.
