The product under study is 1 kg of extruded aluminum.While multiple products have slightly different compositions, thecompositionlistedin this EPD is considered representative of the product line.For further description and percent mass compositions,please refer to the Baseline and Ancillary Materials section,below.AnodizedAluminumExtrusion:The anodizing process provides an artificial protection to the aluminum with its own corrosion. Aluminum rust can reach great hardness, ranging between 7 and 8 onthe Mho Scale. It is very stable and resistant to environment corrosion agents.The coat generated in this electrochemical process is imbedded in the metal and therefore cannot be scraped or peeled off.PaintedAluminumExtrusion:Powder and liquid coatingsenhance extrusion products by providing protection against outdoor elements including harmful ultraviolet rays,and excellent aesthetic appeal. This strong protective coating and innovative decoration certifiesthe products suitability for outdoor use and high resistance to weathering.
