Alufinish has reason to celebrate. After 10 years of intensive outdoor weathering tests, the chrome-free corrosion protection process Alfipas 7816 has met the highest quality requirements of the GSB International e. V. quality association. This is a remarkable success for Alufinish and proof of the product's quality. It is also ...
Gold colouring baths based on ferrioxalates have been used successfully for decades to colour anodised components for interior and exterior applications. During the colouring process, the iron salts are then incorporated into the porous anodised layer by a simple dipping process. Depending on the amount of salts incorporated, the coloured ...
Occasionally, it arouses astonishment when, after anodising the products, profiles unexpectedly appear that show a differently pronounced iridescent colouring of greenish, reddish and violet tones. This phenomenon does not originate from a pioneering colouring technique, but is rather the result of challenges during anodising. What is the cause? The correct ...
Aluminium is one of the most widely used metals on our planet. It is light, corrosion-resistant and has many applications, from the packaging industry to aerospace. However, extracting aluminium from raw materials requires a lot of energy and leads to significant environmental impacts. Therefore, aluminium recycling is becoming more and ...
The aluminium sector is crucial in achieving Europe’s goals of a climate-neutral and circular economy. Aluminium is recyclable and suitable for multiple recycling. Why recycle aluminium? Aluminium can be recycled again and again without losing its original properties. The aluminium recycling process also requires only 5 % of the energy ...
It is well known in anodising operations that, over time, deposits accumulate on the plastic balls used to cover (minimise heat and evaporation loss) hot sealing baths. Unwanted white residue: a common problem that can be addressed These usually show up as white, crust-like residues that are deposited and strengthened ...
At a time when climate change is an ever-increasing threat, it is essential that companies take their responsibility and find sustainable solutions. Integration of renewable energies In the business environment and especially in industry, a lot of energy is needed every day. The use of renewable energy, such as solar ...
Ob im Garten, beim Maler oder auf der Baustelle: Leitern sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil vieler Gewerke. Besonders beliebt sind hier seit vielen Jahren Aluminiumleitern. Aluminiumleitern sollten robust, leicht zu transportieren, qualitativ hochwertig und vor allem sicher sein. Je nachdem, ob es um Anforderungen für eine einfache Stehleiter oder um professionelle ...
Electrolytical colouring with tin salts has been a popular process in anodising operations for decades. It can be used to produce numerous variants of bronze colourations (light to dark bronze), but also black surfaces on the aluminum base metal. While bronze shades were mostly predominant in recent decades, the process ...
Neben der täglichen Eigenüberwachung in Pulverbeschichtungsbetrieben fordern verschiedene Qualitätsgemeinschaften auch regelmäßige Korrosionstests beim Chemiehersteller oder in Instituten. Prüfungen sind wichtig, um die gleichbleibende Oberflächenqualität kontrollieren und garantieren zu können. Um der Vielzahl der zu testenden Prüfkörper bei Alufinish gerecht zu werden, musste hierfür in den letzten Jahren die Kapazität der ...
