Aluminium is one of the lightest commercially available metals. Key benefits include:

• Density about one third that of steel or copper
• Excellent strength to weight ratio
• Good corrosion resistance, with the option to anodise or powder coat for greater protection
• Thermal (heat) conductivity
• Electrical conductivity – high enough to be used as an electrical conductor (like copper)
• Economical recycling due to low melting temperatures – re-melting uses about 5% of the energy required to smelt new aluminium from its ore. We recycle 100% of our process related aluminium scrap.
