In the heat, you have to be very careful and offer solutions to combat high temperatures. One of the solutions most sough-after solutions at this time of year are the air-conditioned rooms because is where you can enjoy a better environment and pleasant temperatures.

For the production of air-conditioning systems or units is fundamental to use materials with excellent properties to thermic transmission and resistance to corrosion, such as aluminium. ALUCOAT is specialist in coated aluminium coils and has developed its high quality products airfin® and waterfin® to the production of different components to refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment.

• airfin® is specifically designed to air-conditioning systems in large areas such as stores, shopping malls, but also automobiles, ships and trains. This is focused in the production of finstock to heat exchangers and, based on the hydrophobic properties and corrosion resistance, airfin® has a variety of products:
• airfin® 100: this is the ideal coating solution to avoid fin corrosion. Based on epoxy resins especially designed for this application, this material offers the desired protection in a wide range of colours.
• airfin® 300: this is designed to guarantee the properties of the product without being affected by U.V. rays or others chemicals reactions.
• airfin® 400: fins made with this material are at least 300% more resistant to corrosion than bare aluminum.
• airfin® 500: ALL IN ONE. The quality of airfin® 500 strengthen the resistance to corrosion and guarantee a life extension of the heat exchangers.

waterfin® offers two products with high hydrophobic properties that avoid the generation of ice bridges. It is intended for the manufacture of smaller heat exchanger systems and specifically designed for the food industry, heating and air conditioning systems for buildings, such as offices. Its two products are:

• waterfin® 100: It is the ideal solution to standard working environments.
• waterfin® 700: It has a double layer material with a high resistance to corrosion and for this reason, this is the best solution for working environments with high level of contamination.

In addition, for an extra in terms of resistance to corrosion, our products airfin® and waterfin® can be improved with the pre-treatment Alucoat® prelac Chrome free, that multiply the resistance to corrosion of coated aluminium.

ALUCOAT, the best choice for the production of heat exchangers, refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

aluNID®, international reference in the production of aluminium honeycomb core has established a collaboration with Parque de las Ciencias of Granada for the next temporary exposition that will take place between 2022 and 2025.

Under the name “Bioinspiracion”, the Parque de las Ciencias of Granada will host an exposition dedicated to the imitation of models, systems or elements of nature that can be applied to technology and the inspiration of man in the nature for technological developments.

The aluminium honeycomb core aluNID®, is a versatile product with excellent properties of resistance to compression and lateral deformation, light, 100% recyclable and incombustible. It is also a biomimetic product, i.e. man has adapted it to its technological needs based on nature and its forms. For these qualities it will be exposed in a stand of the exposition.

After being exposed in Parque de las Ciencias of Granada, this exposition together with aluminium honeycomb core aluNID®, will be exposed in others European museums with high reputation such as Federal Museum of Workplace, health and safety of Dortmund in Germany and Vienna Technical Museum of Vienna in Austria. All of them take part of IAMuSEE, International Alliance of Museum for Scientific Education and Culture in Europe.

aluNID®, innovation, nature and technology. Collaborating with scientific and educational institutions and promoting aluNID® and its applications.

aluNID® has been for years one of the star collaborators of different teams participating in Formula Student, a motor racing between students of universities all around the world that promotes the excellence in engineering, where every university team design and build every single-seater vehicle which it then competes.

This year at first time aluNID® collaborates with Spartan Racing Team of American University of San Jose, California by donating aluminium honeycomb core to its single-seater project it is carrying out this season 2021-2022. The Spartan Racing Team is made up of a large and experienced team that has participated in several competitions in both California and Michigan in the electric and combustion vehicle categories.

The team will use the aluminium honeycomb core as a key element to the chassis which will bring lightness to the vehicle making it being able to achieve speed easily and reduces the consumption of fuel. Likewise, it has an extra strength by taking the full impact in case of collision. aluNID®, being made of aluminium 100% has exemplary fire protection and is anticorrosive, two very important properties to guarantee driver safety.

aluNID®, it is already a reference partner in Formula Student and is very proud to sponsor, help and promote the human talent of the Spartan Racing Team.

aluNID®, research and development within everyone’s reach and for everyone. Investing in the future.

Summer and winter are the most intense season of the year in terms of temperature. Summer usually comes with heat waves reaching high temperatures and winter with cold waves where the temperatures recordered are very low. For these seasons, where most of the time is spent at home or in the office, thermal insulation becomes the best ally to achieve a greater sense of comfort.

For this reason, housing, building, shopping mall, hospital or any other enclosed space, are equipped with an insulation layer that protects them from external weather conditions and help to maintain the space with a pleasant and constant temperature. ALUCOAT has developed its flagship product INSULAX® IP, coated aluminium coils for the production of insulation panels with PUR (polyurethane) or PIR (polyisocyanurate) foam which are installed inside rooms and provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

Coated aluminium coils produced by ALUCOAT are an importer barrier against humidity, as being totally waterproof. Moreover, it is an anticorrosive material and has greater durability over time compared to others materials, in addition is a 100% recyclable and sustainable material On the other side the lacquers developed by our company provide an excellent resistant to weathering and U.V. light. For this reason, INSULAX®IP is the perfect solution for the production of insulation.

For those surface that requires specific treatment, ALUCOAT has developed the product INSULAX® IP+. This product has a special antibacterial coating exclusively designed to provide a high level of hygiene to the final panel. This product is designed for application in hospitals, food or pharmaceutical industry, sectors where hygiene is fundamental to keep health and wellbeing.

ALUCOAT, works to offer innovative and accessible solutions for the industry, looking for the welfare and comfort to end customer.
