The principle is simple: coating decorating even the process is simple:
Preparation
Coating
Decoration

The process has been analysed by rigorous studies to verify the supposed qualities: stereoscope observation, microscope test with infrared rays, electronic scan microscope test, valuation of the brightness, thickness, adherence, hardness, embossing test, bowing test, impact resistance, accelerated corrosion test, resistance to salt-acid room,accelerated ageing test,, lime resistance test, boiling water resistance test, condensed water test, cutting, milling, drilling, flaring, slicing.

All these test for the best result.

Preparation and coating
The raw aluminium needs to be degreased, and neutralized.
The clean and uniform surface receives a traditional pre-treatment of a chemical conversion creating a thin layer of OSSIDO AMORFO with coating.

Electrostatic distributors apply a 60 micron layer of powder paint (not poisonous and without any solvents). The polymerisation is done with a 180-200º G temperature for 20-30 minutes, these time various according to dimensions and shapes of the profiles. The base colour grants the hardness of the final product, protects the aluminium from light, bad weather conditions, abrasion, corrosion and ¡ humidity.

The decoration or printing method used for the Decoral process is know as SUBLIMATION or heat printing. Sublimation is the physical process: a material changes from a solid condition into a gas condition without ever turning into a liquid condition.

In our process, as a consequence of the high temperature the molecules of the used pigments, that have a weak linking in between them, disperse as a gas moving from the printed paper support into the synthetic layer of paint where they join in exactly the same colour and original position as on the paper support. The elements that determine the quality and the result of this process are: temperature, time and mechanical pressure as a result of the vacuum system.
