Both processes detect touches on the metal surface and pass them on as information to the integrated controller. They are particularly suitable for premium products as well as for hygiene-sensitive areas, e.g. in the medical technology environment.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator

processes of organic and electrolytic anodisation are suitable for the colour design of the metal surfaces.<br \/>\nWe use both processes in our in-house anodising plant.<\/p>\n<p>In organic anodising, the individual colour molecules are deposited in the upper areas of the pores and thus form a permanent bond with the oxide layer.
