PROCESSING
© Adrian Schulz
ALUCOLUX® has easy forming properties that makes the material ideal for any façade, building or
industrial applications. It can be easily cut, routed, folded, rolled, perforated, drilled, punched or bent
without harming the prepainted or real anodised surface.
For making tray panels the processing temperature (>10 ˚C) has to be considered.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Annual cleaning is recommended. The surfaces should be cleaned either manually using a soft brush
or by means of high-pressure cleaner (maximum 50 bar) with clean water. If necessary, a mild cleaning
agent (pH 6 – 7) may be added, up to maximum 10%. Cleaning should take place from top to bottom.
After cleaning, rinse with water to remove any cleaning agent residue.
Do not clean surfaces heated by the sun (>40 oC).
