metal processing & finishesAluminiumComposed of a primary alloy and is the most suitable for morecomplex extrusion processes. It offers a high general tolerancealong with a top quality natural state for further finishingtreatments. All Vulcan trims are suitable for anodizing.Anodized AluminiumAnodic Oxidation process against Corrosion generated byatmospheric agents not associated with galvanization processes.Profiles are previously treated so as to become uniformly matand subsequently electro-chemically oxidized and coloured in thestandard AA25 silver finish. Please contact Vulcan on 020 86810617 for further colors.Bright Polished AluminiumThis consists of a special pre-shine chemical/machine process andthen of a colour dip for the Gold and Chrome finish. The profileproduct maintains the same chemical and mechanical resistancequalities as the anodized versions with an aesthetic brightappearance which make it similar to gilt or chromed surfaces.Hot ExtrusionExtrusion processes involving Stainless steel are subject totremendous pressure and heat but are still dimensionally stableand maintain the high finish, wear and resistance of rolled profiles.The brushing & mid-polishing finish process is obtained throughquartz-fibre nylon rotary brushes which create the matt effecton the profiles visible surfaces but leave the characteristicsunchanged.Stainless steel - 304 GradeSteel belonging to the AUSTINTITE Category which composesthe most popular alloy aggregate for a performing product. It isresistant to the most commonly used chemicals, but it may spot ordarken on the top surface. In such cases, it is easily buffed out witha conventional polishing product to bring it back to its originalshine and can be cleaned with powerful cleaning agents.Stainless Steel – 316 GradeAs belonging to the same category, this alloy aggregate comprisesof Nickel, Chrome and Molybdenum. The latter conferring anexcellent resistance to the harsher conditions such as the presenceof Chlorine and Salt concentrates.Powder Coated AluminiumThe powder coating procedure starts with a chrome-phosphatepre-treatment to proceed then with a polyester powder base coatthrough electrostatic method. This results in an elevated toleranceto atmospheric agents and UV stabilization. The entire visiblesurface undergoes an average 60 micron coating. In addition, thecolour fastness by heat impression, supplies a further guaranteedresistance to mechanical impact and chemical aggression.Stainless Steel – Cold RollingStainless Steel profiles are produced through a cold rollingprocedure with a steady thickness control. They differ from thecorrespondent Brass or Aluminium profile version manufacturedwith the hot extrusion processes of which they maintainnevertheless, the application and dimensional characteristics.Stainless steel is effectively resistant to high mechanicalsolicitations and is particularly indicated for the chemical, foodprocessing and hospital environments to meet the stringentstandards of hygiene, durability and chemical resistancerequirements.BrassBrass profiles are characterized by a high tolerance to mechanicalstress which promotes them as highly recommended for flooringand coverings with intense transit, like industrial applications, andcan be used in correspondence to expansion joints. Profiles aremanufactured either from hot extrusion or cold rolling processes,with a steady sheet thickness control.Brass offers a high resistance to chemical agents normallypresent during ceramic tile laying. If there is a constant presenceof humidity, the Brass section may start oxidation, resultingin a slight darkening. Surfaces can be easily restored with aconventional polishing product to bring back to its original shine.Polished BrassVulcan brass extrusions are finished with special buffing machineswhich enhance the natural shine of the material without alteringthe mechanical properties. Over time there may be a slightoxidation but this will be easily restored to its original condition bythe use of a standard polishing product.Chromed BrassThe chrome finish effect is realised through a galvanic processwhich confers a Stainless Steel like shine to a brass profile. Thevisual impact is appreciated and the overall appearance gains fromit. The finished surface has high resistance to chemical aggressionbut limited resistance to mechanical impacts and persistentabrasion.21Sales: 020 8681 0617 • Email: sales@vulcansystems.co.uk
Ground Surface Indicators (GSIs) are used wherepedestrians with impaired vision need alerting toimpending hazards and help with directional guidance.Individual VTac studs or, corduroy bars in stainlesssteel or brass can be used internally or externally forretrofitting. They do not detract from the attractivenessof the floor but rather enhance the look. The surroundingfloor surface shows between the individual GSIsgiving a superior architectural appearance. Referenceto “guidance via underfoot surface change signals”,conforms to DDA guidelines.Brass and stainless steel GSIs are solid grooved, withan optional non-slip nylon or photo-luminescent insertfor quality emergency walkways to benefit everyone.These studs are very suitable for worn stairs wherea straight line edge is not possible. Try it and see.Colour contrast valuesLuminescent contrast of Ground Surface Indicators(GSIs) is the difference in the amount of lightreflected from the base surface. Tactile Tiles and StairNosings should have a minimum 30% luminancecontrast while Individual studs should have 45 – 60%.Light reflective valuesBi-metallic Stainless Steel 38Bi-metallic Brass 36Sales: 020 8681 0617 • Email: sales@vulcansystems.co.uk 22
