| Surface Finishes | Description | Features | Protection |
| Mill Finish | The natural, untreated surface of aluminum after extrusion or rolling. | The surface is silver-gray with slight imperfections, non-uniform reflectivity, and a matte metallic sheen. | Plastic end caps, waterproof paper, wooden pallet with strapping, wooden crates, spacers, PE/PVC filming (if specified) |
| Anodizing | An electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer on the aluminum surface. | Offers a hard, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant finish. | |
| Powder Coating | A dry powder is electrostatically applied to aluminum, then cured with heat or UV lights to create a colored or finished coating. | Excellent UV, weather, and chemical resistance. | |
| Brushed textures | The surface is mechanically polished to create a uniform, directional finish, with a satin-like, linear appearance. | Reduces visible fingerprints and surface blemishes. |
| Surface Protection | Bundling and Cushioning | Securing and Palletizing |
| Each Aluminum Tube/ Pipe is individually wrapped in protective materials, such as plastic film, foam wrap, or kraft paper, to prevent scratches, dust, and surface abrasion during handling and transportation. | Aluminum Tubes/ Pipes are grouped and bundled using stretch film, strapping, or shrink wrap. Corner guards or padding are often added between tubes/ pipes to prevent movement and impact damage. | The wrapped Aluminum Tubes/ Pipes are secured in sturdy wooden crates, boxes, or steel-reinforced pallets to ensure structural stability during loading and international transport. |
