Metalphoto®

Vehicles, instruments, and equipment subjected to heavy use or operation under harsh environments require labels that can last under challenging conditions. Photosensitive metal products offer features and benefits for long-lasting, innovative labeling and identification solutions. Sine-tific Solutions manufactures many custom photosensitive metal products with sophisticated imaging technology. Our capabilities include various finishes and colors for highly aesthetic, durable Metalphoto® products with a professional appearance that will withstand conditions unfavorable for other label solutions.

What is Metalphoto®?

Metalphoto® creates highly durable identification products from photosensitive, anodized aluminum. In photosensitive metal label production, images are sealed within the aluminum substrate to ensure long-term legibility. This process produces high-resolution graphics and product information labels with nearly endless possibilities for customization. Metalphoto® provides helpful features for equipment and process nameplates used in harsh operating environments.

Metalphoto® Features

Given its unique imaging process, photosensitive metal products offer favorable characteristics for identification products and processes. Metalphoto® photoimaging seals the image in anodized aluminum, which provides exceptional resistance to sunlight, saltwater, abrasion, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. Incredibly durable and highly versatile, Metalphoto® offers scaled production capabilities and several benefits for hardwearing and resistant applications.

Why Choose Metalphoto® for Durable Identification Products?

Metalphoto® offers advantages over other imaging processes with a specialized process. By sealing a silver-halide-based image within anodized aluminum, this process guarantees long-lasting graphic capabilities, such as:

• Exceptional resistance to abrasions, chemicals, and more
• Optional security printing features for enhanced protection
• Printed material will always be crisp and clear for quality and reliability
• Ability to mark small items and surfaces where large labels are impractical
• Demonstrated quality over time has made metal photoimaging a chosen process for OEMs, military, and government organizations
• Provides enduring variable information capabilities for asset tracking, traceability, and faster processing

Choosing Metalphoto® imaging provides durable solutions for process and safety identification products that can withstand challenging operations in various industries.
