Allumination



Steps to Allumination

Mayne Coatings Corp. is a leader in the application of powder coated finishes for ­architectural aluminum. At the heart of the Allumination process is our commitment to superior quality and service.
  • Step 1: Consultation with clients, ­ experimentation and prototyping — critical to the success of any project.
  • Step 2: Aluminum is chemically treated ­(Alkaline etch and ­Reverse Osmosis).
  • Step 3: Eclipse sealer is then applied. The material is put in the oven to dry.
  • Step 4: Architectural grade powder ­coating, a major advance on standard product, is sprayed on.
  • Step 5: The product is placed in the ovens to cure.
  • Step 6: Final products from custom color applications are ready to be shipped.

Wood grained Finishes

If the Allumination process calls for an elegant, environmentally friendly wood grained finish, the product goes on to a second step in our production process to be sublimated using our patented Decoral technology.
  • Step 7: Colored aluminum is vacuum-wrapped in patented sublimation film.
  • Step 8: Bagged extrusions are loaded onto the vacuum racks where the air is removed from the bags.
  • Step 9: The vacuum rack is loaded onto the Decoral oven where sublimation takes place.
  • Step 10: Once the temperature reaches 200°C the rack is ejected from the oven and the vacuum pressure is ­reversed.
  • Step 11: Film is removed leaving ­perfectly bonded image.
  • Step 12: Alluminated product ready to be shipped.
