Aluminium round tubes have a low weight and good stability, which means they can be used for constructions and buildings of all kinds. For example, they are used in the construction industry or in machine and plant construction. However, the material is also very popular in exhibition stand construction and in interior and exterior fittings due to its lightness and easy-care properties. Indoors, they are often used for handrails or frame constructions. Anodising or powder coating gives the aluminium round tubes corrosion and weather-resistant protection, making them ideal for outdoor use. There are many other areas of application, as the range of uses is wide. Hobby craftsmen also use the material frequently. Aluminium round tubes are therefore a real all-rounder.
Our high-quality aluminium tubes are ideal for all types of construction projects and can be adapted to your requirements. Simply choose between bright, anodised and powder-coated in our online configurator and enter the required dimensions. Our experts will take care of everything else and you will receive your customised aluminium round tubes in no time at all. If you require a dimension outside our stock range, we look forward to receiving your enquiry.
Note: The following information only applies if you have selected the powder coating option in the configurator.
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 round tubes - ideal protection and aesthetics
Powder-coated aluminium round tubes offer a first-class protective coating and a high-quality, uniform surface. They are particularly suitable for applications that require both high corrosion resistance and aesthetic quality, such as in the construction industry, the automotive industry or for decorative purposes. The powder coating gives the aluminium round tubes a long service life and an elegant appearance. Our range includes a large selection of powder-coated, anodised and bright aluminium round tubes in various sizes and dimensions. If you have special requirements for powder coating or special dimensions, please contact us - we will help you choose the ideal product.
Note: The surface quality and colour of our powder-coated aluminium round tubes may vary slightly depending on the production batch. Colour deviations are also possible due to monitor and graphic settings.
Layer formation during powder coating
During powder coating, the high-voltage cascade in the gun body generates a high voltage 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 by mutual repulsion and are deposited evenly on the surface of the aluminium round tubes. The electrical charge keeps excess powder in the field, resulting in a complete and even coating around the workpiece. The coating thickness is often thicker on edges - this picture frame effect is advantageous for corrosion protection, but may require reworking for tight fits.
Powder coating - quality requirements
For the quality inspection of powder-coated aluminium round tubes, the coated surface must not show any blisters, craters, pinholes or scratches at a distance of 3 metres (for indoor applications) or 5 metres (for outdoor applications) with normal eyesight. The coating should be free from damage that penetrates the metal. Deviations in the primary material that occur during the pressing process do not affect the quality of the powder-coated surface and are therefore excluded from the quality inspection.
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 pipes
(Article number: LM-16060 + LM-16070)
1. general safety information
- Caution: Aluminium pipes are lighter than stainless steel, but may have sharp edges and burrs at the ends. Wear suitable protective gloves, safety goggles and safety shoes when handling and transporting to avoid cuts, crushing and eye injuries.
Danger: Sharp edges or burrs can cause serious injuries! - Take care with sharp edges: Before processing or installation, the material should be smoothed with a file or deburring tool if necessary to prevent injuries.
Caution: Process the edges before use to avoid cutting injuries. - Tip: Especially with heavy or long pipes, get a second person to assist to avoid accidents. Do not drag pipes across the floor to prevent surface damage. Use suitable safety straps during transport to avoid scratches.
2. mechanical safety
- Processing: Always wear safety goggles, a respirator, protective gloves and safety shoes when sawing, drilling or grinding the material.
Danger: Dust and splinters can cause eye and respiratory injuries . - Assembly: Ensure that the pipes are mounted firmly and stably to prevent accidents.
Caution: Improper assembly can lead to instability and risk of injury.
3. storage and handling
- Ensure that the pipes are not dropped or bumped hard, as this can lead to dents or damage.
- In the case of coated pipes, impact could cause coatings to flake off, which could impair corrosion resistance and appearance.
Caution: Damage to the coating reduces the service life of the product. - Storage: Store the pipes horizontally and on a stable surface to prevent them from rolling away or 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: Aluminium pipes are lighter than stainless steel, but suitable lifting and transport aids should be used for heavy or long pipes. Use a second person if necessary.
Caution: Improper lifting can lead to back injuries.
4. keep children and pets away
- Keep aluminium pipes and their packaging materials out of the reach of children and pets to prevent injuries and the risk of suffocation.
Danger: Sharp edges or burrs and the weight of the material can cause 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
- This product is designed for railings, handrails, posts, patio roofs, curtain rails, construction profiles or furniture frames. Do not use the tubes 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 . - Do not use the pipes as a conduit for liquids unless the material is explicitly designed for this purpose.
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.
