However, this standard was developed for batch anodising where the production parameters are much less precise, greater colour and gloss variation is accepted and where the anodic film is not flexible, rendering post transformation more difficult. Coil has recently introduced the QSCA standard for continuous anodising, which is expected to become the new standard for architectural specifications for the continuously anodised product. A summary of the various quality standards and testing procedures can be found below: QUALITY ASPECTS OF PRE-ANODISED ALUMINIUM (PDF) LONG TERM PERFORMANCE In addition to production and laboratory testing Coil has carried out an extensive survey of buildings in various locations throughout Europe to verify the long term on-site performance of the product. The conclusions, which can be found in the report below provide conclusive evidence of the durability of the anodic layer and its superiority over painted aluminium.
