Alumac has 3 extrusion presses (600, 1460 and 1800 US Ton) which enable us to extrude 4”, 6” and 7” aluminium billets respectively. With our largest 7" extrusion press, we can extrude up to 170mm CCD for hollow profiles and up to 230mm in width for flat profiles.
Max. 170mm CCD for Hollow Profile
Max. 230mm width Flat Profile
An extrusion die is a thick steel disk with a shaped opening to allow aluminium to flow through, producing a specific cross-sectional profile.
Solid Die – Enables the extrusion of an aluminium profile with no enclosed voids, such as
Hollow Die – Enables the extrusion of an aluminium profile with enclosed voids, such as
Semi-hollow Die - Enables the extrusion of an aluminium profile with deep gaps or opening with high tongue ratios, such as
Pure aluminium is made up of only aluminium element, the atomic number 13 with the chemical symbol of Al in the periodic table. It appears as a silvery-white soft metal.
Aluminium alloys are mixtures of pure aluminium with other elements to enhance the mechanical and chemical properties of the metal, tailored for different applications.
Such enhancements include the increase in strength, workability, corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.
Such elements that create an aluminium alloy include silicon, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese and chromium.
Yes. The choice of aluminium alloys depends on a range of factors, which includes product application, strength requirements, and surface finishing requirements.
We provide 1000 and 6000 series of aluminium extrusion grade alloys, of which we primarily use extrusion grades 1050, 1070, 6060, 6061, 6063 and 6082 to create your profiles.

Aluminium Alloy |
Application |
|
1050 |
It is a high purity non-heat treatable alloy with 99.50% of aluminium content. Used especially in electrical fields (e.g.: busbar) which require the highest available electrical conductivity performance. |
|
1070 |
It is a high purity non-heat treatable alloy with 99.70% of aluminium content. Used especially in electrical fields (e.g.: busbar) which require the highest available electrical conductivity performance. |
|
6060 |
It is a heat treatable alloy with very good corrosion resistance and weldability. It is an ideal alloy for every complex cross section and has a very good anodizing response. Widely used in architectural applications, curtain walls, railings and fences. |
|
6061 |
Ideal for structural applications as it offers higher strength properties. It is widely used in transportation components, marine fittings, machinery and equipment and more. |
|
6063 |
It is a medium strength alloy which commonly used for architectural applications including door/ window frames, sign frames, recreation equipment, truck frames, heat sinks, electronic parts and etc. It has a good surface finish and can be easily anodised. |
|
6082 |
It has excellent corrosion resistance and the highest strength of the 6000 series structural alloys. It has good weldability and is commonly used in marine applications. |

Temper, which is the hardness and strength imparted to the metal by mechanical or thermal treatment.
1000 aluminium extrusion grade series are cold-worked for strength enhancement.
6000 aluminium extrusion grade series of alloys are heat-treatable to attain their maximum strength. Alumac controls this process via an ageing oven.

The aluminium extrusions we supply meet tolerances outlined by Aluminium Association (AA) standard. You can check out the Quality Standards here.
However, we strive to drive our extrusions further than the AA standard.
If you have specific or increased tolerance requirements, kindly contact us as we have a technical engineering team to discuss with you how we can help you.
We are able to deliver extruded lengths of up to 12 metres, subject to your technical needs and requirements.
We can provide the following surface finishings that would suit your needs:
- Anodising
- Metallic Anodising
- Powder Coating
- PVDF Coating
- Hairline Surface
- Wood Grain
Alumac specialises in bespoke designs, and co-engineered with you, the customer, for better solutions that suit your applications. As such, we are able to extrude aluminium profiles according to your designs to the exact specifications.
However, we can access a full range of standard extruded aluminium profiles on behalf of our customers.
Quality - We Walk The Talk, being one of our brand promises. We are fully ISO9001:2015 certified to assure our customers always receive the very best.
We utilize Digital Quality Management in our inspection procedure. An example of which, we employ Bluetooth Calliper, Video Measurement Scanner, Image Dimension Measurement System to cover non-destructive and destructive dimensional inspection. In addition, we also utilize other measurement tools to test your profiles’ electrical conductivity and surface roughness of the extrusion profiles. Click here to know more.
Alumac prides itself with our Quality Check Points (QCPs) being set for every production process. All quality personnel are committed to focus on each QCP in each production process. Click here to know more.
Yes. We are able to provide you with a 3D printed sample for your fitting and evaluation purposes as we co-engineer with you on your designs.
