• Greyish-white in colour, it is malleable, ductile and conductive to heat and electricity
• A thin inert film of oxide protects the metal surface from further attack, thus giving the metal a form of resistance to corrosion.
• This film of oxide can be further thickened by a process known as the anodizing
• Welding can be made possible. 
• Anodized or spray coating possible to achieve different architectural effects
• With its non-corrosive and good mechanical properties, each grade of Aluminium has a high range of applications.
• Aluminium also possesses very high malleability, enabling it to be produced into a very thin foil.
