What is needed is reliability

Under atmospheric conditions, untreated aluminium forms a natural layer of aluminium oxide. This layer is rather thin (0.1 – 0.5µm), however, not very decorative and too soft to protect the material in the long term. By far the greater problem, though, is that this layer drastically reduces the reflective properties of the aluminium.

Technically optimised, this natural process can be used to advantage. Considerably much thicker and harder, the crystal clear layer produced in an anodising process is highly decorative and can be coloured. Aluminium surfaces with sufficiently thick anodised layers guarantee reflective properties with long-term reliability.

We create reliability!

The basis of robust, resistant aluminium surfaces

Oxidising metal surfaces by electrolysis is called anodising (anodising process). In an electrochemical process, the aluminium surface is systematically converted into Al2O3 (aluminium oxide).

In contrast to an applied coat of paint, this layer is an integral part of the base material. It is as hard as ceramic, highly transparent and ensures reliable colour bonding. The anodic oxidation of aluminium has several processing advantages and makes aluminium more resistant to corrosion.

A reliable process that continues to be effective

2.DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY

Directed light – reduced glare – High-tech reflector surfaces for LED luminaires

The LED, as a development champion among lighting products, keeps reinventing itself. In the race for ever greater efficiency, manufacturers today publicise new records almost on a quarterly basis. In times of global warming, without forgoing comfort, this is quite a challenge, but at the same time an opportunity, for modern lighting technology. Increasing efficiency means higher light output, but also higher luminance and, as a result, more glare. Can this be avoided? Yes, the special optical properties of our products enable innovative, energy-efficient and ergonomic reflector technology.

optimises display technologies

Yesterday – LCD technology

Some ten years ago, the use of MIRO-SILVER® surfaces revolutionised the backlighting systems in LCD technology thanks to their total reflectivity of 98%. The material produced by ALANOD became a factor in virtually every LCD display and therefore, a global standard.

Today – LED technology

Modern LED displays today utilise the excellent reflective properties of our materials for optimised visual quality.

Tomorrow – OLED technology

Even in intensive studies today MIRO® has proven its qualities in connection with future technologies such as OLED (organic LED). As a trendsetter, ALANOD is involved in defining future standards and with significant experience is taking innovations into a secure future.
