Lorin highlights AnoGrip Anodised Aluminium

This finish is ideal for all manufacturing applications where adhesion or lamination come into play.

Through a special anodised process, AnoGrip creates an adhesion-promoting surface on both sides of the aluminium sheet. The chemical process, refined by Lorin, increases the surface area allowing stronger bonds to be created with an adhesive between the aluminium and other materials to help prevent delamination.

T-Peel test results for AnoGrip far exceed other priming methods such as scuffing the aluminium, grit blast, or chromate conversion coating.

The bondable surface created by AnoGrip Type 4 accepts many substrates such as resin-soaked papers, MDG board, MDF, Plywood, PVC, and several other bonding substrates. AnoGrip Type 5 also accepts many substrates in addition to paint.

AnoGrip’s ability to accept all types of adhesives precludes the need to apply a primer coat or the need to treat the surface with Hexavalent Chrome, a known carcinogen, saving manufacturers time and money and increasing safety and sustainability. The superior adhesion also means that manufacturers can potentially use less of their costly adhesives, with better results in terms of preventing delamination. This saves manufacturers on warranty claims and saves their customers on down time for repairs.
