In the aluminum profile industry, product performance is defined not only by alloy and dimensions, but largely by the surface treatment.
In a global market where each country presents unique environmental conditions—coastal humidity and salt spray, high-altitude UV radiation, tropical moisture, industrial pollution—selecting the appropriate finish becomes crucial for ensuring long-term durability, color stability, and overall product lifespan.

1. Coastal or High-Humidity Regions
Examples: Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Southern Argentina
Challenge: salinity, constant moisture, accelerated corrosion.
Recommended treatment:
-High-performance powder coating (≥60–80 μm)
-Enhanced adhesion and film thickness control
-Salt-spray corrosion testing according to international standards
Our solution: customized powder formulations engineered for marine environments to ensure long-term stability for windows, doors, and facade systems.
2. High-Altitude or High-UV Regions
Examples: Bolivia, Northern Chile, Mexico
Challenge: UV-induced fading and surface degradation.
Recommended treatment:
-Exterior-grade UV-resistant polyester coating
-PVDF coating for premium architectural projects (15–25 years of color stability)
Our solution: coating formulations adjusted to the UV index of the destination country, ensuring stable performance under extreme radiation.
3. Tropical Humid Climates
Examples: Brazil, Colombia, Panama
Challenge: persistent moisture, risk of mold, condensation-driven corrosion.
Recommended treatment:
-Anodizing ≥12–15 μm
-Moisture-resistant exterior powder coatings
Our solution: multiple anodizing thickness options designed for high humidity and urban environments.
4. Hot Regions with Intense Solar Exposure
Examples: Middle East, Northern Mexico, arid regions in South America
Challenge: heat + sunlight causing fading and loss of gloss.
Recommended treatment:
-UV-resistant outdoor-grade powder coating
-PVDF for long-service-life architectural applications
Our solution: coating systems customized based on annual sunlight hours and temperature profiles of each market.
5. Industrial or Chemically Aggressive Areas
Examples: factory zones, industrial parks, chemical exposure environments
Challenge: exposure to industrial gases, chemical particles, corrosive agents.
Recommended treatment:
-Medium-to-thick anodizing
-High chemical-resistance PVDF coating
Our solution: reinforced finishes specifically designed for industrial facilities and public-infrastructure projects.
6. Residential Design-Focused Markets
Examples: Argentina, Uruguay, Chile
Challenge: aesthetics + durability in outdoor environments.
Recommended treatment:
-Exterior-grade woodgrain thermal-transfer finish
-Transparent top-coat for added UV and weather resistance
Our solution: a wide selection of woodgrain patterns tailored to local residential and architectural design trends.
