ALUMINUM EXTERIOR PANEL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190154 titled 'ALUMINUM EXTERIOR PANEL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The manufacturing method of an aluminum exterior panel involves preparing an aluminum material, anodizing to create pores on the surface, atmospheric-pressure plasma treating to enhance hydrophilicity, digital printing for color and image application, and sealing to close the pores.
- Aluminum material is prepared for the exterior panel.
- Anodizing is used to form pores on the surface of the aluminum material.
- Atmospheric-pressure plasma treating at room temperature improves the hydrophilicity of the surface.
- Digital printing is implemented to add color and images to the surface.
- Sealing is done to close the pores on the aluminum panel.
Potential Applications: - Exterior panels for buildings and structures - Decorative elements for architectural designs - Signage and advertising displays
Problems Solved: - Enhances the durability and aesthetics of aluminum panels - Improves the hydrophilicity of the surface for better printing quality
Benefits: - Increased resistance to corrosion and wear - Enhanced visual appeal with customizable designs
Commercial Applications: - Construction industry for building facades - Advertising and marketing for outdoor displays
Questions about Aluminum Exterior Panel Technology: 1. How does the atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment improve the hydrophilicity of the aluminum surface? 2. What are the advantages of digital printing on aluminum panels for exterior applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a manufacturing method of an aluminum exterior panel including: preparing an aluminum material; anodizing to form pores on a surface of the aluminum material; performing atmospheric-pressure plasma treating, at room-temperature, to improve hydrophilicity of the surface of the aluminum material on which the pores are formed; digital printing of implementing a color and an image on the surface of the aluminum material with improved hydrophilicity; and sealing to close the pores.
