WHY ALUMINIUM?

ALUMINIUM IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY AND HEAT
ALUMINIUM is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. ALUMINIUM rackmount cases for electronic installations are inherently shielded.

ALUMINIUM IS NON-FLAMMABLE
No sparks fly when you strike ALUMINIUM materials. Not even aluminium shavings burn.

ALUMINIUM IS NOT SENSITIVE TO IMPACT AND IS VERY STRONG
Although the surface may be dented as a result of impact, the impact energy is absorbed by the deformation to better protect the contents.

ALUMINIUM IS FULLY RECYCLABLE
ALUMINIUM is one of the most highly recycled materials, and can be recycled over and over again.

ALUMINIUM IS RESISTANT TO UV RADIATION
Long storage periods and usage under exposure to UV-radiation have no effects on this material.

ALUMINIUM IS EASILY MACHINABLE
All the most widely used machining processes – milling, drilling, grinding, cutting, welding, molding etc. can be used in conjunction with ALUMINIUM

ALUMINIUM IS LIGHT AND HIGHLY ROBUST
ALUMINIUM’s low density and high weight-to-strength ratio provide advantages in many industrial applications.

ALUMINIUM IS IMPERVIOUS TO WATER VAPOR
Even under extremely long-term storage conditions, it is impossible for moisture to penetrate the material.

ALUMINIUM IS MAGNETICALLY NEUTRAL
ALUMINIUM is free of ferromagnetism. This material characteristic can be of great significance for certain application areas.

ALUMINIUM IS RESISTANT TO CORROSION AND HAS A BUILT-IN DEFENSIVE RESPONSE
On contact with oxygen the surface develops an oxide layer which reforms immediately if damage occurs.

ALUMINIUM IS HYGIENIC AND READILY DECONTAMINATED
The smooth non porous surface is easy to clean and emission-free. ALUMINIUM cases are outstandingly well suited for areas with demanding specifications in relation to hygiene.
