Wood finish aluminum sheet is a kind of coated aluminum product through the coating process to form a wood grain effect on the surface of aluminum sheet. It combines the excellent performance of aluminum with the beautiful appearance of wood, and is widely used in construction, decoration, home and other fields. Wood finish color coated aluminum sheet is usually made of high-quality aluminum alloy materials, common alloy grades are 1060, 3003 and so on. These aluminum alloys have good corrosion resistance, formability and weldability, and are able to meet the needs of manufacturing various complex shaped parts. The coating of wood grain aluminum sheet is the key to forming the natural wood grain texture and feel. The coating usually adopts super weather-resistant paint or composite ink to form a dense protective film on the surface of the metal substrate. This protective film not only has excellent weather resistance, sun resistance, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, but also maintains the clarity and realism of the wood grain texture.
The production process of aluminum sheet wood finish usually includes the following steps:
- Aluminum preparation: choose the right aluminum alloy material, usually aluminum coil or aluminum sheet.
- Surface treatment: Clean and degrease the aluminum to ensure a clean surface for subsequent coating adhesion.
- Coating process:
Primer Coating: Apply a layer of primer on the surface of the aluminum sheet to increase the adhesion.
Wood grain coating: Wood grain patterns are applied to the aluminum surface using wood grain transfer technology or spraying technology.
Topcoat: Apply a clear topcoat to enhance the abrasion and weather resistance of the surface.
- Curing: Put the wood grain aluminum sheet into the oven for curing to ensure the adhesion and durability of the coating.
- Inspection and Packaging: Quality inspection of the finished product to ensure compliance with standards and then packaged.
The applications of wood finish aluminum sheet are very wide, mainly including:
- Exterior building decoration: used for curtain wall, exterior wall decoration, balcony guardrail, etc., to enhance the beauty of building appearance.
- Interior decoration: used for wall, ceiling, partition, furniture and other interior decoration, creating a warm and natural atmosphere.
- Home products: used for surface treatment of home products such as cabinets, closets, doors, etc., to increase the aesthetics and durability of the products.
- Billboards and signs: used for making billboards, signs, etc., which are widely used because of their attractive appearance.
