Modern Materials

Coated Metals

- Metals can be coated with polymers (PP & PET) either for decoration or protection.

- Packing examples include food & soft drinks cans and paint & varnish containers.

- Nickel coated steels are used to protect the surface from corrosion in brake pipes & car suspension parts

Anodized Aluminum sheet

•       Enhances the natural barriers.

•       Anodizing aluminum makes the surface of the Aluminium more durable and resistant to scratches.

•       It is then sealed with a lacquer.

•       This is Aluminium sheet that has been treated in a chemical tank with an electric current.

•       It has a harder surface than untreated aluminum and can absorb permanent dye.

•       It is used to make coloured products, including jewellery, aircraft parts and window frames.

Nickel Plated Steel

•       Good scratch and abrasion resistance

•       Very good further processing characteristics (wieldable, brazeable)

•       Excellent resistance against aggressive fuels such as bio diesel

•       Nickel plated steel is a malleable material. This means it can be press formed into the required shape without tearing.

•       Nickel plated mild steel is ductile. This means it can be press formed into the required shape.

•       Nickel plated mild steel sheet is tough and will withstand minor impacts, helping to maintain product aesthetics.

•       Nickel plated steel will not corrode which would spoil the aesthetic appearance of the pencil case.

•       Nickel plated steel is less expensive than alternatives such as stainless steel or aluminium. Accept references to recycling and embossing.

•       Can be printed on with flexography.

Aluminium Foam

•       High mechanical energy absorption in every direction

•       Strain rate insensitivity

•       Time and Temperature insensitivity

•       Recyclable

•       Inflammable with no environmental degradation at high temperatures

•       Acoustic and thermal insulating properties

Titanium Foam

•       Low density and permeable material with numerous applications

•       The defining characteristic of these foams is a very high porosity, typically 75-95% of the volume consisting of void spaces.

•       Wide variety of applications in heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion and lightweight optics.

Polythene cored Aluminium sheet (Alu composite)

•       It comprises two coated Aluminium sheets laminated over a polyethylene core.

•       This sandwich setup allows it to achieve excellent mechanical performance at minimal weight.
