Aluminium strain-hardened to half-hard. Stronger than O temper, less formable than H24 or H22.
Aluminium strain-hardened then partially annealed to quarter-hard. Bends tighter with less springback than H1x tempers of similar strength.
Aluminium solution heat-treated and artificially aged for maximum strength (6000-series extrusions and plate).
Anodising quality: sheet produced with controlled chemistry and surface so it anodises to an even colour.
Polyvinylidene fluoride coating. A 70 % PVDF resin system is the standard high-durability façade coating.
