Powder

Aluminium powders can be produced either directly in a dry milling process, or indirectly by drying aluminium pastes. The powders are customised for the widest range of applications by means of special coating methods or after-treatment.

Notes on processing

Notes on processing Like all materials in powder form, aluminium powders can form explosive dust/air mixtures when they come into contact with air. Thus, it is essential that the following points be observed when working with aluminium powders:

• Avoid raising dust
• Keep powder well away from ignition sources
• Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging
• Do not use vacuum cleaners to remove residue
• Avoid any contact with moisture
