Product information
- Surface: silver anodised E6/EV1
- Material: AlMgSi0.5
- Material number: according to EN AW-6060
- E6: chemically pre-treated, anodised and compacted. A matt surface is produced.
- EV1 is a standard process for anodising, whereby a silver-coloured natural anodised layer is produced.
- Surface thickness: 10 my
- Manufacturing process: pressed
- Standard: EN 573-3, 755/-1/-2/-3/-4/-5/-8/-9
The sawn edges are not anodised, unfinished and not deburred. In addition, scoring, scratches etc. in the raw product cannot be completely covered by anodising and may also remain visible.
Nevertheless, we always endeavour to supply all blanks in the best quality.
Product properties:
- low density
- Ideal for powder coating
- Very good corrosion resistance
- Low dimensional tolerances
- good machinability
- cannot be magnetised
- Can be decoratively anodised very well
- Good weldability and solderability
- Suitable for use in the food sector in accordance with EN 602
Aluminium H-profiles are used in a variety of ways, as they make it easy to join panels made of different materials in a stable and visually appealing way. Whether used outdoors or indoors, the finished surfaces make the H-profiles weather-resistant and therefore a favourite with tradespeople, model makers and DIY enthusiasts. Visually and practically a high-quality and versatile profile.
We offer H-profiles in anodised and powder-coated, as well as in many different dimensions. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please contact us and we will find a suitable solution.
Note: This information only applies if you have selected the option Powder coating in the configurator when placing your order.
Powder coating - additional information and quality features
Surface features and properties:
- Surface: powder-coated for an even, robust protective layer
- Coating thickness: 60 - 80 µm for optimum protection and durability
- Reflectometer value (gloss level):
- Glossy: 80 - 95
- Matt: 20 - 30
Powder-coated aluminium H-profiles - ideal protection and aesthetics
Powder-coated aluminium H-profiles offer a high-quality protective coating and a smooth, even surface. These profiles are particularly suitable for applications that require both high corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance, for example in construction, the engineering industry and furniture production. Thanks to the powder coating, these H-profiles are extremely durable and available in a wide range of surface finishes. In our range you will find a wide selection of powder-coated, anodised and bare aluminium H-profiles in various sizes and dimensions. If you have special powder-coating requirements or customised dimensions, we will be happy to help you select the right product for your project.
Note: The surface quality and colour of our powder-coated aluminium H-profiles may vary slightly depending on the production batch. Colour deviations are also possible due to monitor and graphic settings.
Layer formation during powder coating
Powder coating is carried out by a high-voltage cascade that generates a high voltage in the gun body at the nozzle tip (electrode). An electric field is created between the earthed workpiece and the electrode, which charges the paint particles negatively. These paint particles are finely distributed in a uniform spray cloud and are deposited evenly on the surface of the aluminium H-profiles. The electrical charge also traps excess powder in the field, which ensures a complete and even coating around the workpiece. The coating thickness is often thicker at the edges - this picture frame effect is advantageous for corrosion protection, but may require careful reworking for tight fits.
Powder coating - quality requirements
For the quality inspection of powder-coated Alu H profiles, the coated surface must not show any blisters, craters, pinholes or scratches when viewed with normal or corrected vision and at a distance of 3 metres (for indoor applications) or 5 metres (for outdoor applications). The coating should be free from damage that penetrates through to the metal. Deviations in the primary material that occur during the pressing process do not affect the quality of the powder-coated surface and therefore do not fall within the scope of assessment.
Please note that the ordered product may differ from the product images in terms of the surface finish due to different production batches. The same applies to colours, which are displayed differently depending on the monitor and graphics card.
Product safety information in accordance with the Product Safety Regulation for aluminium profiles
(Article number: LM-16083, LM-16169)
1. general safety instructions
- Attention: Aluminium profiles have sharp edges and burrs. Wear suitable protective gloves, safety goggles and safety shoes when handling to avoid cutting and crushing injuries.
Danger: Sharp edges can cause serious injuries! - Caution: Before processing, smooth the material with a file or deburring tool to prevent injuries.
- Tip: Especially with heavy or long profiles , get a second person to assist you to avoid accidents. Do not drag profiles across the floor to prevent surface damage. Use suitable safety straps during transport to prevent scratches.
2. mechanical safety
- Machining: Always wear protective equipment such as safety goggles, a respirator and gloves when sawing, drilling or sanding.
- Assembly: Ensure that the profiles are mounted stably to avoid accidents.
3. storage and handling
- Ensure that the profiles are not dropped or bumped heavily, as this can lead to dents or damage.
- In the case of coated profiles , the coating could flake off due to impacts, which would impair the corrosion resistance and appearance.
Caution: Damage to the coating reduces the service life of the product. - Storage: Store the profiles horizontally and on a stable surface to prevent them from falling. Store in dry, well-ventilated areas to prevent oxidation (tarnishing) of the material and staining.
Caution: Improper storage increases the risk of injury and damage. - Avoid heavy lifting: Use suitable lifting and transport aids for heavy or long profiles . If necessary, call on a second person.
Caution: Improper lifting can lead to back injuries.
4. keep children and pets away
- Keep aluminium profiles and their packaging materials out of the reach of children and pets to prevent injuries and the risk of suffocation.
Danger: There is a risk that children and pets will use the products as toys. Sharp edges or burrs as well as the weight of the material can lead to serious cuts and crushing injuries! Packaging materials also pose a choking hazard.
5 Maintenance and care
- Only use mild cleaning agents and a soft clothfor cleaning. Never use scouring pads, steel wire brushes or abrasive cleaning utensils.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scratching cleaning utensils. These can scratch the surface and damage the protective oxide layer. - In the event of heavy soiling , only clean with water and mild detergents.
Do not use chemicals, as these can discolour or damage the surface. This can promote corrosion. - High-pressure cleaners - The use of high-pressure cleaners can damage the surface, especially on coated or painted pipes, and promote corrosion.
- Cleaning at high temperatures - Avoid cleaning with hot water or steam, as this can tarnish the aluminium and dissolve the coating.
- Saline or abrasive cleaning agents - Cleaning agents containing salts or abrasives can roughen the surface and impair corrosion resistance.
- Tip: Dry the aluminium with a soft cloth to prevent water stains or oxidation (tarnishing). This will keep the protective oxide layer intact and the surface of the aluminium will remain beautiful for a long time.
6. use in the intended area
- The profiles are suitable for railings, handrails, structural profiles, furniture frames and patio roofs. Do not use the profiles as a load-bearing element if no structural calculations are available.
Caution: If used as a load-bearing element without static calculations, there is a risk of collapse .
7 Temperature resistance
- Aluminium is thermally conductive and can heat up considerably at high temperatures. Avoid direct contact with hot surfaces or openflames to prevent burns.
Danger: Direct contact with hot surfaces can cause burns.
