Good dyeing characteristics, corrosion resistance, high conductivity, and aesthetic appearance of aluminum strips determine their wide range of use in the transportation, automotive, shipbuilding, instrumentation, and electrical engineering industries. Aluminum strips are also widely used during installation and repair work, in the energy sector, and in the machine engineering and construction industries, specifically for the production of input-distribution devices, profiles, and equipment housings.
The most common application for aluminum strips has been found in the construction industry. For example, they are often used for:
- sealing joints during repair work, thermal insulation of premises;
- manufacturing of load-bearing structures;
- ventilated facade systems and suspended ceilings;
- interior and exterior cladding of buildings and structures.
- Properties of aluminum strips
- High corrosion resistance. This property allows for the use of aluminum strips outdoors.
- Excellent light reflectivity and aesthetic appearance. Thanks to these characteristics, aluminum strips are a sought-after material for manufacturing finishing elements for vehicles (both land and air).
- Small mass. With this property, aluminum strips become an indispensable foundation for manufacturing products where low weight is a critically important condition.
The main advantages of aluminum strips are:
- strength,
- plasticity,
- relatively low weight,
- high corrosion resistance,
- durability,
- excellent electrical conductivity,
- non-magnetism,
- aesthetic appearance.
