Our aluminium etching technologies have been developed to produce the best possible finishes in terms of masking die lines and markings associated with extruding rolling. We are able to achieve the most matt appearance with the minimum of metal removal, thereby considerably reducing environmental impact and operational costs.

Within our etching technology we have developed a dual stage system producing a very matt surface with less than 25 g/m2 metal removal.
