AlusionTM
– Stabilized Aluminum Foam and its various versions are interior
finish panels. They are available in two thicknesses – 1/2
inch and 1 inch – and in two densities – Small Cell 15%
and Large Cell 10%. The higher the density the smaller the cells
and the heavier and less delicate the material.
There are four basic versions of Alusion. They
are:

This comes naturally off our production
line with a special shiny silver skin featuring a unique waved
pattern on the top surface.
>> How
we Make it
|
|
|
The shiny silver skin on Alusion Natural
is removed through a special blasting process and the cells
underneath are exposed. This creates the Alusion Open Cell,
which has also been described as an aluminum sponge. The density
of this version is low (10%) which makes the size of the open
cell big. Alusion Open Cell - Big cell is the best of the
finishes for providing excellent acoustic properties.

|
This version is created in exactly
the same way as Alusion Open Cell - Big Cell. However for this
version a high density 15% is used. This makes the size of the
open cells relatively smaller than the cell size of Alusion
Open Cell - Big Cell |
|
|
The shiny silver skin on both sides of 1/2
inch special low-density material is removed to create translucent
panels. This finish is extremely lightweight and allows light
to be transmitted through the material. |

|
Alusion Open Cell and Alusion Translucent
are coated with a thin layer of resin to create Alusion Resin.
This creates a flat, smooth and clear-surfaced finish. The material
for the resin finish is created from a combination of acrylic
and clear-coated epoxy. The resin coating can be clear or colored
to match any Pantone shade. A one-time fee of $250 for color
matching applies. A scratch-resistant coating can be applied
for certain applications, as desired. |
