ISO standards (standards of the International Organization for Standardization) are a fundamental pillar on which sustainable development is based, which certify compliance with certain environmental standards, safety and energy efficiency among others. ISO certifications and the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations have a direct relationship.

ALUCOAT constantly invests in these types of certifications that verify all the work and effort made within the company in order to maintain an outstanding sustainability management, environmental, social and governance.  ALUCOAT has been renewing for many years ISO 14001: environmental sustainability, directly related to SDG 13. Climate action, 14. Life below water and 15. Life on land;  and ISO 50001: sustainable energy with a main objective of increasing Energy Management, directly related to SDG 7. Affordable clean energy, 12. Responsible production and consumption, and 13. Climate action, saving energy consumption and reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

Within the ALUCOAT Sustainability Plan 2023-2025, there is a line of development based on its commitment to health and safety for all workers.

Recycling within industrial sector plays a key role in protecting the environment, conserving natural resources and reducing polluting gases.
Industrial companies have the potential to become change agents by adopting effective recycling practises.

ALUCOAT, specialist in coating aluminium coils is subject to a strict environmental management policy integrated into the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle all the resources and waste that are generated during production process. Of the little waste that is generated, almost all (more than 90%) is sent to specialized waste managers to its treatment and subsequent recycling.

The company has developed a policy focused on promoting green aluminium and works with its suppliers so that most of the aluminium with which it works is recycled aluminium.
One of the advantages of using recycling aluminium is the energy saving. To produce one kilogram of recycled aluminium it is necessary a 95% of energy less than producing one kilogram of primary aluminium. It also means an important reduction of C02 emissions to the atmosphere, saving about 9 ton of CO2 for every ton of recycled aluminium. Furthermore, aluminium can be recycled endlessly times without losing its properties during the process, which favours circular economy.

ALUCOAT, promoting recycling as a commitment with the environment.

In the heat, you have to be very careful and offer solutions to combat high temperatures. One of the solutions most sough-after solutions at this time of year are the air-conditioned rooms because is where you can enjoy a better environment and pleasant temperatures.

For the production of air-conditioning systems or units is fundamental to use materials with excellent properties to thermic transmission and resistance to corrosion, such as aluminium. ALUCOAT is specialist in coated aluminium coils and has developed its high quality products airfin® and waterfin® to the production of different components to refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment.

waterfin® offers two products with high hydrophobic properties that avoid the generation of ice bridges. It is intended for the manufacture of smaller heat exchanger systems and specifically designed for the food industry, heating and air conditioning systems for buildings, such as offices. Its two products are:

In addition, for an extra in terms of resistance to corrosion, our products airfin® and waterfin® can be improved with the pre-treatment Alucoat® prelac Chrome free, that multiply the resistance to corrosion of coated aluminium.

ALUCOAT, the best choice for the production of heat exchangers, refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

Summer and winter are the most intense season of the year in terms of temperature. Summer usually comes with heat waves reaching high temperatures and winter with cold waves where the temperatures recordered are very low. For these seasons, where most of the time is spent at home or in the office, thermal insulation becomes the best ally to achieve a greater sense of comfort.

For this reason, housing, building, shopping mall, hospital or any other enclosed space, are equipped with an insulation layer that protects them from external weather conditions and help to maintain the space with a pleasant and constant temperature. ALUCOAT has developed its flagship product INSULAX® IP, coated aluminium coils for the production of insulation panels with PUR (polyurethane) or PIR (polyisocyanurate) foam which are installed inside rooms and provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

Coated aluminium coils produced by ALUCOAT are an importer barrier against humidity, as being totally waterproof. Moreover, it is an anticorrosive material and has greater durability over time compared to others materials, in addition is a 100% recyclable and sustainable material On the other side the lacquers developed by our company provide an excellent resistant to weathering and U.V. light. For this reason, INSULAX®IP is the perfect solution for the production of insulation.

For those surface that requires specific treatment, ALUCOAT has developed the product INSULAX® IP+. This product has a special antibacterial coating exclusively designed to provide a high level of hygiene to the final panel. This product is designed for application in hospitals, food or pharmaceutical industry, sectors where hygiene is fundamental to keep health and wellbeing.

ALUCOAT, works to offer innovative and accessible solutions for the industry, looking for the welfare and comfort to end customer.

For coffee lovers, one of the most pleasurable things in life is to be able to enjoy a delicious coffee first thing in the morning, to enjoy it after a meal with friends or family or during an important meeting or appointment.

There is a great variety of flavours and textures that travel around the world and that, depending on each area, give it a unique taste. In order to preserve ground coffee in optimum conditions and guarantee that when you drink it is “freshly ground”, it is necessary for it to be in an aluminium container, as this is the material that best preserves food and does not interfere with its flavour.

That is why ALUCOAT works to offer a premium, high quality product to one of the most demanding segments of the market. ALUCOATs lacquered aluminium for coffee capsules provides a total protection barrier, preserving 100% of its properties and maintaining its freshness until its final consumption.
