Coating for aluminium composite  

April 28, 2009

Hi all

I am looking for a solution to coat aluminium composite. it is a special kind and the manufacturer will not do it otherwise than mill finish, therefore I have to paint it.

what I am looking for is a aesthetic solution rather then resistance. the product will have be for office equipment use, so medium scratching is expected.

the powder coating is not good as the core of the composite will melt at 145C.

I am checking now the anodizing option, which probably will be very expensive, i'll see.

an alternative is the
www.duplicolor.com/products/metalcast.html
I ordered to see this one as well.

still, I am kind new in this coating, so my knowledge is very limited, only what I could fine online and talking with some people. so if you have suggestions, please let me know.

regards
Marius
