Description:

The A380 Aluminium gives an excellent combination of machinability, heat transfer and easy casting together with other properties. The fluidity of this material is excellent. It has a good resistance to hot cracking and pressure tightness. The presence of silicon makes it a bit rough. This material is applied in a variety of products such as engine mounts, electrical equipment chassis, generators and even furniture.

    Anodizing (Type II)

    Type II anodize provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.

    Notes:
    • Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface color
    • Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight
    • Possibility of requesting custom colors (RAL)

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL color

  • Powder coating

    Provides a continuous, protective color finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.

    Notes:

    Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders.

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL color
  • MJF PA12, black spray painting MJF PA12, black spray painting

    Spray painting

    Provides a continuous, protective color finish which is applied by spraying.

    Notes:
    • Paint coating is just on the surface level, if it is scratched or subjected to wear and tear, the internal natural colour is visible
    • Possibility of requesting custom colours (RAL)

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL color
