Why Aluminum?

10 Reasons Why Aluminum is a Superior Case Material

Aluminum is light and highly robust.
Its is 1/3 the density of steel and still provides incredible strength.

Aluminum is impervious to water vapour.
Even under extremely long-term storage conditions, it is impossible for moisture to penetrate aluminum.

Aluminum is not sensitive to impact and is very strong.
Although the surface may be dented as a result, the impact energy is absorbed by the deformation to better protect the contents.

Aluminum is magnetically neutral.
Aluminum is free of ferromagnetism. This material characteristic can be of great significance for certain application areas.

Aluminum is impervious to extreme temperature fluctuations.
temperature range -238°F to + 302°F (-150 to +150 °C) the material characteristics remain constant.

Aluminum is fully recyclable.
Aluminum is one of the most highly recycled materials, and can be recycled over and over again.

Aluminum 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.

Aluminum is resistant to UV radiation.
Long storage periods and usage under exposure to UV-radiation have no effects on this material.

Aluminum is hygienic & readily decontaminated.
The smooth non porous surface is easy to clean and emission-free. Aluminum cases are outstandingly well suited for areas with demanding specifications in relation to hygiene. These properties make aluminum cases easy to decontaminate.

Aluminum is easily machinable.
All the most widely used machining processes – milling, drilling, grinding, cutting, welding, molding etc. can be used in conjunction with aluminum and can be carried out a great deal more efficiently than is the case with other materials.
