Aluminum is one material that is 100 percent recyclable, making it highly attractive from a sustainability point of view. This sustainability can help formulate competitive business advantages.
Aluminum stands up in hot and cold temperatures and will not break down if exposed to many chemicals or most cleaners. It also does not rust. This means a nameplate or badge made from aluminum is expected to last for the life of the product that it is applied to.
Aluminum weighs roughly one-third of what stainless steel does. This means that it can complement product design with an authentic material without sacrificing additional weight.
Aluminum can take on the appearance of other metals like brass or stainless steel by applying transparent tints of color to the surface. The metal is friendly for applying various finishes such as textures and selective gloss, resulting in attractive ways to promote brand awareness or communicate operating instructions.
Aluminum can be formed to take on the shape of the product housing. Embossed graphics and serialized numbering are easily accomplished with low tooling costs.
