Corrosion – Why Aluminium?
Aluminium by nature is not easily corroded by the weather elements. In its bare state, when subject to the weather elements, aluminium inherently forms a whitish oxide surface that inhibits further corrosion. It is estimated that it will take 100 times longer to corrode aluminium compare to carbon steel and 6-8 times longer to corrode aluminium compare to galvanized carbon steel. There are many examples of aluminium structures that have stood the test of time. The decade old Statue of Eros, made of aluminium is a fine example.
Duracoil aluminium PVDF pre-painted coils are converted into many end architectural products to meet the environmental challenges set upon us. Coated alumiuium coil products not only offer designers the choice of colors which adds to the vibrance of their designs, the coating is effect increases the durability of the product against the elements of weather.
