Aluminum surface treatment: A selection of possibilities

Surface treatments (coatings) for aluminum ensure optimum material retention. In addition, you enhance the surface and in many cases close the aluminum to additional properties. In particular, wet paints are a proven form of aluminum surface treatment. Why is that so, read here.

Common paint procedures and systems

The surface treatment of aluminum is achieved with the following paint procedures and systems:

	Wet coating	Powder coating
Application	Spray application, roller or brush	Electronic powder spraying
Drying principle	Forced drying*	Stoving**

*) Forced drying is usually done at a temperature of 50 to 100 °C. The recommended temperature and drying time will vary depending on the paint system..

**) Aluminum beads are typically performed at an object temperature between 150 and 200 °C. The recommended temperature and drying time will vary depending on the paint system.

Wet coatings: always and everywhere applicable

Of the above paint procedures and systems, wet paints tend to be preferred because of their wide availability. With wet paints you get a very smooth end result and its decorative effects that you can’t achieve with powder coating or anodizing.

Wet paints are unhindered to apply. There are no maximum dimensions for the aluminum object to be painted. For example, the object does not have to pass a spray booth;
The ground must be cleaned, cleaned and degreased in advance for adhesion;
