Aluminum Tubes overview

Aluminum tubes are essential components in numerous industrial and architectural applications. These pipes combine lightness with high strength and corrosion resistance (depending on material), making them the ideal choice for construction projects, mechanical engineering and many other areas.

Unique selling points

  1. Light and stable: Aluminum tubes offer an excellent strength to weight ratio. They are significantly lighter than steel pipes, making them easier to transport and install while not compromising structural integrity.

  2. Corrosion resistance: Thanks to the natural oxide layer on aluminum, these pipes have good to very good corrosion resistance, depending on the material. This makes them ideal for use in damp or chemically contaminated environments.

  3. Versatility: The tubes are available in a variety of dimensions and wall thicknesses, making them adaptable to different applications. From light construction to heavy industrial applications, they offer a flexible solution.

  4. Aesthetic and functional advantages: Aluminum tubes have an attractive metallic surface that can be additionally polished or anodized to ensure even greater corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance.
