Photometal, anodized photosensitive aluminum combines extreme durability in harsh environments with a high-quality, long-lasting appearance. Photometal nameplates and panels function perfectly for years, maintaining their original appearance under an array of challenging conditions including extreme heat, humidity, long term exposure to weather, UV and other outdoor conditions, salt spray, abrasion, industrial solvents and chemicals and more.
The durability for which Photometal is known is the result of a unique manufacturing process in which a silver halide image is embedded within the sapphire-hard, anodic layer of the aluminum.
The National Association of Graphic and Product Identification Manufacturers (GP) proclaims Photometal to be the most durable aluminium substrate; citing superior resistance to abrasion, heat and sunlight.
