Renk kaplı alüminyum alaşımları, istenen uygulamaya ve gereken özel renge bağlı olarak değişebilir.. Genel olarak, 1xxx'teki alüminyum alaşımları, 3xxx, and 5xxx series are most commonly used for color coated aluminum.

1xxx serisi alaşımlar saf alüminyumdur ve mükemmel korozyon direncine ve iyi işlenebilirliğe sahiptir. Fakat, yumuşaktırlar ve yüksek mukavemetin gerekli olduğu uygulamalar için uygun değildirler.

The 3xxx series alloys, such as 3003 Ve 3105, have moderate strength and good workability. They are often used for roofing, dış cephe kaplaması, and other architectural applications.

The 5xxx series alloys, such as 5052 Ve 5083, have high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in marine and automotive applications.

In addition to the alloy selection, the choice of coating also plays an important role in the final appearance and performance of the color-coated aluminum. Polyester, poliüretan, and fluorocarbon coatings are commonly used for color-coated aluminum.
