Titanium is a metal that forms a durable oxide layer with the ability to refract and absorb light. By varying the thickness of the oxide layer, an array of very decorative colours can be achieved. Manufacturers of medical instruments, spectacle frames and writing implements have been benefiting from titanium’s properties for many years now. And jewellery designers, too, derive inspiration from colourful titanium.

A multifunctional material – not only for high-tech applications

Harder than steel; extremely resistant to heat, corrosion and acid; bio-compatible and exceptionally lightweight: these properties make titanium and its alloys a material of choice for the aircraft and aerospace industries, deep-sea engineering (submarines), medicine (implants and prosthetics) and the chemical industry. All these beneficial properties – harder than steel, lightweight, hypoallergenic – are also remarkable features of titanium jewellery.

The TFA 120/10 titanium anodiser: for durable and beautiful titanium surfaces

With this titanium colouring unit from Heimerle + Meule, existing passive layers can be reinforced by anodic oxidation. Increasing the voltage increases the thickness of the oxide layer. The various colours will appear at specific voltage levels. With a standard 25 litre process bath, a 120 V rectifier and a safety lid which locks automatically, the TFA 120/10 titanium colouring unit is perfect for achieving a wide range of colours. Other variations are available on request. Using the titanium colouring solution developed by Heimerle + Meule and the correct titanium pickle, the TFA 120/10 enables you to obtain immaculate shades of bronze, violet, bright blue steel, blue, yellow, pink and green with the utmost of ease.
