Premium Keder Profile Aluminum Solutions
Overview
Aluminum keder profiles are widely used in constructing tents, awnings, and signage. Their unique ability to interlock with keder fabric ensures a secure and weather-tight seal, offering an ideal solution for both permanent and temporary installations. The lightweight nature of these profiles facilitates effortless handling and installation, significantly reducing labor costs and enhancing structural integrity.
When juxtaposed with other materials such as PVC or steel, aluminum keder profiles emerge as the superior choice. They outperform PVC with their robustness and immunity to UV degradation, and offer a more practical alternative to steel, being lighter and corrosion-resistant. This ensures a longer lifespan and consistent performance, positioning aluminum profiles as the go-to option for quality and reliability in demanding environments.

Aluminum Alloy Selection for Keder Profiles
When it comes to the production of Aluminum Keder Profiles, selecting the right aluminum alloy is crucial for achieving the desired properties and performance. Commonly utilized aluminum alloys include:
6061 Aluminum Alloy: This alloy is known for its excellent mechanical properties and weldability. It contains magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements, contributing to its strength and resistance to corrosion. Ideal for construction and structural applications, 6061 is a versatile choice for Keder Profiles.
6063 Aluminum Alloy: Often referred to as an architectural alloy, 6063 is favored for its smooth surface finish and high corrosion resistance. It is relatively easy to extrude, making it suitable for complex shapes required in Keder Profile Aluminum designs.
7075 Aluminum Alloy: Recognized for its superior strength, 7075 is one of the strongest aluminum alloys available. With zinc as the primary alloying element, it’s used in applications where strength is a critical factor, such as in aerospace and defense industries.
Heat Treatment
Each of these alloys undergoes a specific heat treatment process to enhance their intrinsic qualities, such as T6 heat treatment, which increases the material’s strength and hardness, ensuring the Aluminum Keder Profiles can withstand demanding applications.
Surface Treatments for Aluminum Keder Profiles
Surface treatments are an integral part of customizing Aluminum Keder Profiles, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits:
Anodizing for Durability and Aesthetics Anodizing stands out as a premier surface treatment for extruded aluminum profiles, offering both a protective oxide layer and the opportunity for color customization. At HTS Aluminium, we utilize this electrochemical process to enhance the natural corrosion resistance of aluminum, ensuring that our profiles can withstand even the most challenging environments. The result is a durable and attractive finish that extends the lifespan of the aluminum sections while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
Electroplating for Enhanced Surface Properties Electroplating is another sophisticated surface treatment option we offer. This process involves coating the extruded aluminum profiles with a thin layer of another metal such as chrome or nickel. This not only improves the profile’s appearance, giving it a glossy and reflective finish but also increases its resistance to corrosion and wear. Our precision electroplating ensures uniform coverage, resulting in a high-quality finish that meets the exacting demands of various industries.
Powder Coating for Color and Protection For clients seeking a uniform, vibrant finish, our powder coating service is the ideal solution. This environmentally friendly process involves applying a dry powder onto the extruded aluminum surface, which is then cured under heat to form a hard coating. Powder-coated aluminum profiles from HTS Aluminium are known for their excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Fluorocarbon Painting for Ultimate Weather Resistance Fluorocarbon painting is the treatment of choice for aluminum profiles exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. This high-performance coating provides unparalleled protection against UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and pollution. The aluminum sections treated with fluorocarbon paint maintain their color stability and structural integrity over extended periods, ensuring that your investment remains sound in any climate.
