What is Aluminum?

Aluminum (CAS 7429-90-5), also known as aluminium, is a lightweight metal supplied in processed forms for industrial manufacturing and surface treatment.

Where is Aluminum used?

  • Coatings and printing: metallic finish, opacity and corrosion-barrier performance in architectural, automotive and industrial paints
  • Electronics: conductive substrate for capacitors and battery current collectors
  • Aerospace and automotive: lightweight structural components where strength-to-weight ratio drives material selection
  • Packaging: hermetic barrier layer in flexible laminates, blister packs and food-grade wrapping
  • It functions as a structural material, conductive substrate and reflective pigment in fabricated products and coatings systems.

Commercial specifications

  • Purity levels range from standard commercial grades to 99.99% high-purity material for electronics and specialty applications.
  • Standard grades include technical, aerospace-specification alloy series, and food-contact compliant forms meeting FCC and EU regulatory requirements.
