RAL 9007 grey aluminum sheet is a type of metal sheet with RAL 9007 gray aluminum as its standard color, widely used in architectural decoration, industrial design, and home appliance manufacturing. RAL 9007 gray aluminum is a metallic gray with RGB values of (134,133,129) and CMYK values of (0,0,0,60). The gray color of RAL9007 aluminum has a silvery-white tint and a soft sheen, giving it a modern, minimalist, and technologically advanced visual effect.
The coating materials for RAL 9007 gray aluminum sheets typically include polyester (PE) and fluorocarbon (PVDF), among others. Polyester coatings offer good decorative properties and weather resistance at a relatively low price; fluorocarbon coatings offer higher corrosion resistance, weather resistance, and abrasion resistance, making them suitable for environments with high durability requirements.
Features of RAL 9007 grey aluminum sheets:
Color: RAL 9007 is a neutral gray with a metallic sheen, suitable for various design styles.
Weather resistance: Color coated aluminum sheets typically have good corrosion resistance and weather resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Lightweight: Aluminum is lightweight, making it easy to handle and install.
Processability: Easy to cut, shape, and process, suitable for various architectural and decorative needs.
Applications of RAL 9007 gray aluminum sheets:
1. Architectural decoration
Exterior wall decoration: Used for curtain walls, roof panels, corrugated panels, etc., such as the exterior walls of car dealerships and factory walls, creating a modern minimalist style.
Roofing materials: Such as gray roofing color coated aluminum sheets, using fluorocarbon paint coating, with strong weather resistance, suitable for outdoor environments.
Interior Decoration: Used for ceilings, partitions, wall decoration panels, etc., combined with different glosses and textures to enhance the quality of space.
2. Industrial design
Metal products: Such as system doors and windows, hardware accessories, lamp housings, etc., the neutral tone of RAL 9007 combined with the metal material highlights industrial aesthetics.
Equipment housings: Used for mechanical equipment, electrical cabinets, etc., corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and extending service life.
3. Home appliance manufacturing
Used in the casings of home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, RAL 9007's understated color blends seamlessly with home environments, enhancing the product's perceived quality.
Key points for purchasing RAL 9007 grey aluminum sheets:
- Color confirmation
The actual color of RAL 9007 may vary slightly due to factors such as coating type and lighting conditions. It is recommended to refer to the actual color chart or sample to avoid color discrepancies.
- Material and thickness
Choose materials based on the application scenario: For outdoor environments, aluminum-magnesium-manganese sheets or fluorocarbon-coated color coated sheets are preferred; for indoor decoration, polyester-coated or profiled aluminum sheets can be used.
Thickness must meet load-bearing requirements: For example, the thickness of roofing panels is recommended to be ≥0.8mm, and 0.4-0.6mm can be used for wall decoration panels.
- Coating performance
For outdoor use, weather resistance is important: fluorocarbon coatings have a lifespan of 15-20 years, while polyester coatings last approximately 5-10 years.
For indoor use, decorative effects are important: such as high-gloss, matte, and brushed metallic textures.
