TYPE-III colour anodising
Colour anodising makes the difference
With type-III anodising (colour anodising), the titanium surface of the implant is coated with a defined oxide layer through an electrochemical process. Depending on the layer thickness, various colours are created by light interference, similar to the effect of a thin oil film on water.
Product advantages that never fail to impress
Clear colouring means different implant components can be identified quickly. This reduces the risk of implants being mixed up during operations, contributing significantly to patient safety. This colouring process occurs in highly modern galvanising machines. At the customer‘s request, just parts of surfaces can be anodised (partial anodising).

Well-Informed: Key Insights on TYPE-III colour anodising
Do the dimensions of my part change due to anodising?
Yes, when anodizing, your component is treated with a pickling solution in advance, which leads to material removal. Please take this into account when planning and manufacturing your products. We will be happy to advise you on this – please contact us.
What should be considered when handling anodised parts?
Anodised parts are sensitive to contamination, particularly from fingerprints. To preserve the color intensity, we recommend handling the parts only with appropriate gloves.
In what type of packaging are anodised parts delivered?
We offer a wide range of packaging options tailored to your product. These include blister packaging, resealable bags, vacuum-sealed packaging, and tubular bags. Let’s work together to find the best solution for your needs.
In what condition should the parts for anodizing be delivered?
The components should be free of grease, oil and other residues. We offer pre-cleaning for coarser soiling on request.
Manufacturing process – Quality right from the beginning
The titanium surface receives its intense colouring through a validated anodising process in state-of-the-art electroplating systems. In this process, the oxide layer of the titanium is selectively built up under controlled conditions by applying electrical voltage. The pre-set voltage at the rectifier determines the layer thickness and the resulting colour. The component dimensions are only slightly altered by the processing.
Quality which is ISO-certified & made in Germany
As far as the development of innovations and production of high-quality technologies is concerned, the state of Baden-Württemberg has been a leading region on an international level for many years already. The administrative district of Tuttlingen has even earned itself the nickname of “world centre of medical technology”. We, too, consider ourselves obliged to uphold this tradition, which is precisely why our company headquarters, where we develop and manufacturer our high-quality products sustainably and dependably, are located here. In the field of process and quality assurance, we are certified in accordance with the EN ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 standards.
