Profile extrusion aluminium clean and maintainnance
Profile extrusion aluminium also need to be maintained and cleaned after a long time of use. In this way, our aluminum profiles can maintain a beautiful appearance and have a longer service life.
Before carrying out the cleaning we need to determine the surface treatment of the aluminum products, whether it is powder coating or anodic oxidation treatment. Also the method of cleaning and maintenance of aluminum profiles must be compatible with the type of stain and the frequency of cleaning. Since some stains are not easy to clean, we can try different methods depending on the situation. Below are some columns of recommendations for cleaning and maintaining aluminum profiles:
General profile extrusion aluminium cleaning recommendations
These recommendations apply to most aluminum table profile surfaces:
- Never use acidic cleaners.
- Do not clean the metal when it is hot or cold to the touch.
- Cleaning with organic solvents can damage the sealing material.
- Before using a very strong cleaner, try it in a hidden place.
- Do not use abrasives to remove stains that are difficult to remove.
Podwer coating aluminium profile
Sprayed aluminum profiles have a corrosion-resistant finish, but can be scratched if not cleaned properly. This will be the order of operation:
- Rinse with water under low pressure only.
- Warm water and neutral soap for cleaning sprayed aluminum profiles.
- Warm water, neutral soap and soft sponge for cleaning.
Anodized aluminum profiles
Anodized aluminum profiles have an oxide film on the surface. With this surface treatment, our profiles have stronger corrosion and abrasion resistance.
Cleaning operation sequence:
- Rinse the anodized aluminum profile with water under low pressure only.
- Clean with warm water and a soft sponge.
- Use mild detergent.
- Brush gently and rinse with water under proper pressure.
