Lorin Industries, producers of coil anodized aluminum, touts the benefits of increased strength and durability at a lower weight and cost than competing materials. The cost-effective coil anodizing process, pioneered by Lorin, protects the aluminum while also improving the aesthetic properties and durability, the company says.
According to the company, those benefits include:
- Easy to handle;
- Has a high strength to weight ratio;
- Weighs as little as a third of the weight of other natural metals or stainless steel;
- Available in an infinite range of colors and finishes; and
- Dent-, scratch-, and crack-resistant and does not peel, flake or chip.
Anodized aluminum can be used for a wide range of functional and aesthetic transportation applications, including: automotive emblems; wheel covers; light bezels, reflectors for headlights, CHMSL and dome lights; ID/VIN plates; roof rails; and interior trim. It is also ideal for floor and wall panels, as well as a range of aesthetic parts, in railcars and airplanes.
