Advantage aluminum

 

Resistance stainless steel: The corrosion resistance of this material is guaranteed primarily by the alloying elements chrome and nickel. Metallic bright parts from rustproof material form in atmosphere a thin oxide layer on the surface, (Passivevation) that protects against corrosion. If this layer becomes chemical or mechanical damaged, stainless steel cannot withstand corrosion of basic material.

Resistance Aluminum: Aluminum and aluminum alloys already have a protective oxide layer directly after the products are manufactured (profiles, metal sheets). This form of protection is a reaction of the metal with the oxygen contained in the air. It protects the aluminum like a thin skin. Aluminum therefore is very resistant to acids appearing during   lumber drying like tannic acid, formic acid etc..

Aluminum is worldwide the proven, resistant material used since decades for lumber dry kilns!

Advantage aluminum

  • New technical possibilities due to new aluminum profiles
  • Lighter (transport, assembly) and strong material!
