Finishing & Coating in Halifax: FAQ

What finishing services are available in Canada?
Canadian finishing providers offer anodizing (Type II and III), powder coating, electroplating (nickel, chrome, zinc, gold), cerakote, passivation, chromate conversion, painting, and vacuum metallizing. Most providers are ISO 9001 certified with NADCAP accreditation available for aerospace work.
How much does anodizing cost in Canada?
Type II anodizing typically costs $2 - $10 per part for small components, with volume pricing dropping significantly at 100+ units. Type III hard-coat anodizing runs 30 - 50% more than Type II due to thicker oxide layers and tighter process controls.
What is the difference between Type II and Type III anodizing?
Type II anodizing produces a 5 - 25 micron oxide layer suitable for cosmetic and moderate corrosion protection. Type III hard-coat anodizing produces a 25 - 75 micron layer with significantly higher wear and abrasion resistance, commonly specified for aerospace and defence parts.
Can you powder coat 3D-printed parts?
Yes. MJF and SLS nylon parts can be powder coated after proper surface preparation. The parts need to be media-blasted first and may require a primer coat depending on the substrate. The result is a durable, professional finish that masks layer lines.
