Introduction
Lorin Industries brings forth the versatile world of anodized aluminum through its ClearMatt® Series, transcending the boundaries of conventional materials. Anodizing, an electrochemical process, serves as a canvas for creativity, offering a myriad of looks, textures, colors, and finishes. This transformative process not only embodies advanced technology but also embraces environmental responsibility, creating a luminous finish that accentuates the inherent character of the base metal.
Benefits of Anodized Aluminum
Weight Reduction
Anodized aluminum boasts a weight approximately 60% less than stainless steel, brass, and copper, ensuring structural efficiency without compromising strength.
Consistency
The coil anodizing process guarantees uniform color throughout, from the initial phase to the edges, providing a seamless and consistent aesthetic.
Corrosion Resistance
Resisting patina, rust, or weathering, anodized aluminum promises a durable and beautiful finish that stands the test of time.
Durability
The anodic layer, three times harder than the aluminum substrate, offers natural abrasion resistance, enhancing the material’s longevity.
Production Efficiencies
Arriving clean and fabrication-ready, anodized aluminum streamlines the production process, ensuring immediate usability.
Compared to Paint
The translucent oxide layer not only emphasizes the rich metallic appearance but also eliminates the risk of peeling, setting it apart from painted alternatives.
Sustainability
Boasting 100% recyclability, aluminum, coupled with the anodizing process free from volatile organic compounds, aligns with sustainable practices.
Fabrication
Anodized aluminum showcases versatility, accommodating various fabrication processes such as roll-forming, stamping, laser engraving, lamination, perforation, welding, embossing, and silk-screening.
Custom Colors
The spectrum of visible light opens up as anodized aluminum can be processed into any color except white, providing endless design possibilities.
ClearMatt for Roofs
Anodized aluminum, featuring a higher solar reflective index (SRI) than white-painted alternatives, makes it an excellent choice for roofing applications.
