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-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.
