Coated aluminium coils

The product considered is a coated aluminium coil which is used as intermediate product for the subsequent production of roller shutters (main market) and also for construction panels, isolation/decorative systems as well as for roof panels and roof elements like spouts. The aluminium products are made of 3000 and 5000 aluminium alloys series with 3 different coatings: PE-group (HDPE and PE), PUPA-group and Fluorinated-group (PVDF and FEVE). Within 3000 series, slight differences in alloys are possible, so that two types were considered (a & b). Therefore, the difference between aluminium products is based on the alloy-type and the type of finishing coating materials employed. The combination of two alloys series with the five types of finishes coatings results in a total of 15 references evaluated in this EPD:

-3000 alloy series: 3000-HDPE (a & b types); 3000-PE (a & b types); 3000-PUPA (a & b types); 3000-PVDF (a & b types); 3000-FEVE (a & b types);

-5000 alloy series: 5000-HDPE; 5000-PE; 5000-PUPA; 5000-PVDF; 5000-FEVE.
