Anodized aluminum ventilated facade J57S UP®

J57S UP is a rolled alloy designed to be a perfect base material for batch anodized aluminum. Created specifically by Novelis to meet the requirements of modern architecture, including aluminum facades and aluminum roofing, its value and utility have been proven over decades of use. Its excellent deformation capacity provides the best preconditions for fabrication, allowing for bending, cutting, punching, drilling and more. Brighter and Better Aluminum Due to a special etching structure, our J57S UP alloy offers more than the commercial-quality brilliance of standard AlMg1 aluminum. The alloy’s chemical composition is set within very narrow limits and in such a way that the anodized aluminum façade exhibits a striking metallic appearance. Higher levels of manganese and copper in the composition compared to standard AlMg1 alloys, together with a sophisticated manufacturing process, provide the platform for optimum uniformity in color tone and gloss levels, even if mixing production lots. Making Ground-Breaking Buildings Possible One of the greatest architectural challenges is to design large-dimensional structures. Novelis J57S UP batch anodized aluminum can be used for a number of applications and is appropriate for public-building facades of more than 20 meters in height. Key properties include: Decorative with permanent metallic gloss Firm bond with the metal surface, so no peeling, chipping or corrosion Non-flammable per 96/603/EC and non-combustible per DIN 4102 Non-toxic (hot-water sealing) Electrically insulated Highly recyclable
