Lifetime Image Overlay
The Lifetime Image is fine milled aluminium alloy approximately 1mm thick with an image of your choosing etched into the face of the aluminium. The lifetime image is fixed onto the face of your design. The technology “opens the pores” of the aluminium and “roughens the walls” of those pores to enable dyes to be printed into, not onto, the anodic layer. A thermochemical sealing process then locks in the dyes and the resultant image possesses remarkable longevity characteristics.
