FSB 0205 Polished Aluminium German Silver-Colour Anodised

Aluminium is the most commonly occurring metal in the Earth’s crust. In comparison to other metals,

aluminium has not been known for long – it was first produced with a chemical reaction in 1808.

Aluminium is a light metal (density 2.699 g/cm3). It melts at 660 degrees Celsius. Admittedly, its initial

extraction requires a relatively large amount of energy. This energy balance is however compensated by its

many positive characteristics in use and when recycled. The energy savings associated with recycling are about 95%

compared to its initial extraction. And aluminium can be recycled again and again, without any loss.
