Ultimate board

[Daryl Collins]

I’m just curious. Why is the brushed aluminum board $30 less than the black aluminum board?

Not sure but the black may be a painted or powder coated finish. Personally, I like the brushed aluminum finish better. We used to use a lot of brushed aluminum in the exhibit cases we built when I worked for the Museum Exhibit company.

What is Black Anodizing?

Black anodizing refers to the process of blackening an aluminum part by first performing standard anodizing to create a semi-porous aluminum oxide layer. The oxide layer is then dyed black using one of three dyeing techniques: organic dyes, inorganic dye, or electrolytic dyeing using metal salts. 

What is the Purpose of Black Anodizing?

Black anodizing is performed to achieve an aesthetic or functional black color on an aluminum part while also improving the corrosion and wear properties of the underlying aluminum component. 

I like the looks of the black anodized aluminum. I think corrosion protection is probably unnecessary for an electric football field.

The brushed aluminum looks great on my snow field. 😃👍
