Abstract: A fastening strip (10, 30) and seal (40) arrangement are described. By use of a plurality of individual retention elements (20) that are coupled—either integrally or separate—to the fastening strip it is possible to effect inter-engagement of the seal and strip. The retention elements are received into the seal, which is deformable and engages with the retention elements to effect the retention of the fastening strip to the seal.
Abstract: The invention relates to an improved anodizing process that by modifying the reagents used in a sealing step of the anodizing process may be used to provide for improved anti-corrosion properties of the finished anodized part.
