Aluminum is the main non-ferrous metal with industrial application due to its light weight, high thermal conductivity and great malleability, as well as its resistance to corrosion, among other characteristics. In addition, it has a long life cycle, since it can be perfectly recycled without altering its physical properties.
At Grupo Baux, as recycled aluminum suppliers, we offer different products for a variety of applications.
Aluminum Coils
In Grupo Baux we have aluminum coils of different dimensions, thicknesses and treatments to meet the needs of each project. Below you can check the standard characteristics of our products, Click to view each one of them.
You can contact our experts so that we can provide you with more information about our aluminum coils.

Colours
At Grupo Baux we offer coated aluminum in all the standardized colors of the RAL, NCS and NCS-S charts.
Do you need more information about the different aluminum finishes we can offer you?
We have an R&D department to reproduce any type of shade by means of a representative sample. In this way, we can offer the full range of colors.
Finishes of our coated aluminum
The aluminum strip can be coated on one or both sides, depending on the treatment to be given to its surface, the paint used and the protection required. The most important thing is to know how the aluminum strip will be used in the final product in order to use the most suitable treatment.
Coating, in addition to the wide variety of colors, allows different finishes to be achieved, such as:
- Structured (Standard and metallic finishes, matte structured, Rafaello, wood imitation and Low-Emission coatings.)
- Smooth Finishes (Smooth and metallic finishes with different shine percentages.)
- Special Finishes (EMO, wrinkle and powder finish.)
- Mill finish (Tread plate, stuco emobssed and mill finish.)

Aluminum is an important material in many economic activities.
It is characterized by being light, resistant, shiny and very attractive. If we add the possibilities of existing finishes, we understand its high demand in the market, since it is an alternative to other materials to manufacture all kinds of products.
