FAQs:
  • What is the expected lifespan of the reflective coating on these aluminum sheets?
    The reflective base coating is designed to maintain over 80% of its initial reflectivity for more than 20 years, as verified by ASTM D4956 Type XI standards and real-world case studies in demanding environments.
  • How does the weight compare to traditional steel signage materials?
    Our 2.5mm aluminum sheets are approximately 70% lighter than equivalent 3mm steel panels, saving about 6 kg/m². This significant weight reduction makes transportation, handling, and installation much more efficient.
  • What environmental conditions can these road sign sheets withstand?
    The sheets demonstrate excellent durability in harsh conditions, including coastal salt spray environments (3000-hour salt spray test), extreme desert temperatures up to 50°C, and 100% humidity tropical climates, with zero corrosion reported in long-term applications.
  • Are custom sizes and coatings available for specific project requirements?
    Yes, we offer customizable widths from 800-2000mm, various thickness options from 2.0-3.0mm, and multiple coating options including PVDF and PE paint coatings in RAL or Pantone colors to meet your specific project needs.
