Tammy Schroeder, LEED Green Associate, discusses color innovations and sustainability strides in anodize, biophilic design in architectural coatings, and the latest in metallic and mica coatings. “Anodizing successfully combines science with nature to create one of the world’s best metal finishes by accelerating and enhancing the oxidation of the aluminum substrate. This process produces an oxide film that is uniform, extremely hard and protects the aluminum substrate from deterioration. It provides the highest performance finish for aluminum. Its longevity is its strength. It delivers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.”
