Nowadays, the nameplate & signs industry is developing rapidly, and there are many different types of materials of signs and nameplates. Aluminum profiles, acrylic, two-color plates, stainless steel plates, brass, zinc alloy, iron plates… Each material has its own characteristics and application range, and also highlights different styles.
1. From the materials selection and processing technology
Aluminum nameplates: Aluminum have been die-casted before the marking, so the marking process is simple. It needs only design, cut/drill, and combination. Each component can be easily disassembled, it can save time while with high precision. The appearance of aluminum nameplates is beautiful with modern deisgn. And the anodized coating is more stable and durable than the other coating methods;
The Ttraditional materials usually have a complex processes such as design, cutting/drilling, welding, sandblasting/surface treatment, surface coating, etc. Traditional materials are rarely re used due to cutting deformation and high cost of dismantling. The aluminum material has been oxidized at the factory, but the paint is difficult to cure at the later stage, and the cracking of the paint often occurs. The aluminum plate and the steel plate are all high-density metals. How can the paint surface be effectively grasped? When we spray the primer, we use the alloy primer as the bottom, and then spray the amino baking paint to prevent the paint from collapsing.
Stainless steel plate: stainless steel surface is clean, beautiful and corrosion resistant. It is durable in harshe environment, good wear resistance and high hardness. It has anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties in air or high temperature, and can resist very good against corrosive media. It can be deep-drawn, good ductility, weldable, hardenable and durable.
Each material has its advantages and disadvantages.. When designing, we will choose different materials for different customers’ needs, such as hotels, we will use acrylic plates, solid wood, artificial stone, copper plates, etc., plus various gold-plated accessories to make them look More noble and bright. Real estate companies, office rooms, colleges and universities, hospitals, etc., we will use metal aluminum nameplates, tempered glass, white steel and other materials. Industrial equipment, stainless steel nameplates, brass nameplates, aluminum nameplates are the best choices.
