Aluminium
Aluminium is the most common metal in the earth’s crust. It is a versatile raw material which can be used to produce a wealth of both everyday products, along with industrial ones – from drink cans through to aircraft. Arguably one of the most important characteristics of aluminium is the fact that it can be recycled. The raw material can be recycled numerous times whilst still retaining its high quality. Some other important properties of aluminium include:
- Lightweight
- Easy to shape
- Heat conductive
- Strong
- Corrosion-resistant
- Electrically conductive

Aluminium shims are often used in applications where weight is an important consideration. Some common applications include:
- New machinery assembly

Our raw aluminium material can be supplied in cold rolled aluminium foils. We can supply the strips in a variety of different grades and depending on the thickness-width combination we can slit the foil from 1.50mm wide to 1200mm wide if a slit coil is preferred. Depending on the width of the aluminium foils, we can produce special edges such as:

Raw Material Aluminium Sheet
Aluminium sheet raw material is one of the most common aluminium forms on the market today. The characteristics of the alloy make it suitable for a range of engineering applications from car bodies through to aerospace structures. We offer the highest levels of precision and accuracy when it comes to meeting your measurements and specifications and can provide raw material aluminium sheet in a variety of grades. Aluminium sheets are one of the most popular forms of aluminium. Its lightweight and ductile nature makes it suitable for a wealth of applications.
It is often used in the food and beverage industry for packaging due to the fact that it is malleable and allows for ease of manufacture. Used for both food cans and lightweight drink cans, it doesn’t rust, making it very reliable for such industry.
Some other common industries and uses include:
- Automotive sector – for automobile bodies and panelling
- Appliances – washer machines, tumble dryers, and fridges
- Cookware – saucepans and utensils
- Construction – gutters, roofings, cladding, and siding
