Introduction
Aluminium perimeter trunking systems
Aluminium perimeter trunking systems
The physical properties of Aluminium offer the building industry a high quality material that is very
suitable for internal cable management distribution. Aluminium is light to handle with a mechanical
strength and impact-resistance that is superior to steel. Extruded sections provide attractive profiles
and products are finished with a high quality, powder-coat that provides a blemish-resistant surface.
Aluminium perimeter trunking systems provide the specifier, contractor and end-user with elegant,
stream-lined containment that offers the practical advantages of inherent LSOH and screening
properties.
Recycling and sustainability
• 100% recyclable material.
• Can be recycled many times without loss of quality.
• Recycling facilities are well established.
EMC properties
• First class EMC/EMI screening performance especially at higher frequencies.
Fire performance
•
Aluminium systems specified with polycarbonate fittings meet accepted requirements for LSOH.
•
Withstands high temperatures with a melting point of 660.32 °C (1220.58 °F).
•
Polycarbonate fittings are fire rated to UL94V0.
•
ABS fittings are fire rated to UL94V0.
Environmental
• Aluminium is naturally found combined in over 270 different minerals, the chief source of which
is bauxite ore.
• Its light weight means less strain on supporting structures, easier handling and reduced
transport costs.
