Exceptional Durability: Photosensitive anodized aluminum nameplates and panels, also known as Metalphoto®, combine unusual durability with a long-lasting quality appearance. These nameplates and panels function perfectly for years, maintaining their original good looks under a broad variety of challenging environments, including high temperatures, long term outdoor exposure, abrasion, salt spray and most chemicals. Photosensitive anodized aluminum gets its durability from the unique process which imbeds the image within a sapphire-hard anodized layer.
