Printing
UV printing
When making aluminum plates with UV technology, the surface of the aluminum plate should be treated first. Then the paint layer should be treated, and finally, UV treatment should be performed;
Sublimation
When making aluminum plates with sublimation technology, the printing content needs to be prepared well and then directly transferred to the aluminum sublimation sheet.
What’s the difference between a UV printing aluminum sheet and an aluminum sublimation sheet?
Technology : Sublimation＜UV printing;
Surface brightness: Sublimation＞UV printing;
Water resistance test：Sublimation＞UV printing;
Cost: Sublimation＜UV printing;
Usage: Sublimation＞UV printing;

1060 coated aluminum conclusion
From the below application and analysis, we can see most paints for 1060 coated aluminum are PE paints. It is an anti-UV coating, especially suitable for interior decoration and advertising boards. Compared with PE paints, PVDF is another common paint. PVDF coating thickness is more than 25 microns, which is applied in high-demand industries, such as exterior buildings, curtain walls, and so on.
In conclusion, 1060 is a key in the alloy, with excellent price and suitable for most fields.
1060 is the most commonly used alloy, the production process is relatively simple, the technology is relatively mature, and the price has a huge advantage over other high-end alloy aluminum plates.
1060-coated aluminum has good elongation and tensile strength, which can fully meet the conventional processing requirements.PE paint is the king of cost-effectiveness among paints and has a long warranty period.
In summary, 1060 PE coated aluminum is the first choice for most indoor projects.
