Finishing Services

EMS Fabrication is proud to offer the following finishing services.

Polishing: Creates a shiny, reflective surface by smoothing the metal with fine abrasive materials.
Powder Coating: Applies a durable and protective layer of powdered paint to the metal, which is then cured under heat.
Anodizing: An electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, and corrosion-resistant anodic oxide finish, commonly used for aluminum.
Custom Paints & Colors: Applies a liquid paint layer for aesthetic purposes and to provide a layer of protection from corrosion.
Plating: Deposits a layer of another metal onto the surface for increased corrosion resistance, reduced friction, or aesthetic appeal.
Silk Screening: Applies custom designs, labels, or markings onto the metal surface using a mesh screen, ink, and a squeegee, providing a cost-effective solution for adding detailed graphics or text.

Improved aesthetic appeal: Finishing processes such as polishing, painting, and powder coating can enhance the visual appeal of metal products, making them more attractive to end-users. Well-finished parts also have a consistent appearance, which is essential for products that will be visible in their final application.
Enhanced durability and longevity: Finishing can add a protective layer to the metal surface, helping to prevent rust, corrosion, and wear and tear, which can significantly extend the life of the product. Certain finishes can also improve the surface hardness of the metal, making it more resistant to abrasion and impact.
Improved performance: Some finishes provide additional functionalities, such as electrical conductivity or insulation, which are crucial for specific applications. For example, electroplating can be used to create a conductive surface on metal parts, while powder coating can provide electrical insulation. Finishing can also be used to reduce surface friction, which can improve the performance of moving parts.
Safety and compliance: Finishing processes such as deburring and smoothing can eliminate sharp edges and create a smooth surface, making metal parts safer to handle and compliant with safety standards. Certain finishes can also ensure that metal parts are compatible with other materials they may come in contact with, preventing adverse reactions.
