Although we do not usually realize, aluminum is present in great part of everyday materials. And due to unique characteristics such as durability, lightness, corrosion-resistance, good thermal and electric conductivity, we can easily find application in many different industry sectors, from doors and windows to packaging, from bus floors and bodies to power transmission cables.
 

Aluminum brings lightness and good appearance to transport. From bicycles to trucks, CBA aluminum brings better quality and durability to vehicles.

Aluminum use in the transportation sector has continually increased over the last thirty years. The lightness of the metal – its specific weight is three times lower than that of steel – was an essential characteristic to conquer space in this area, because it reduces the consumption of fuel and tires, and increases the average speed, the cargo capacity and useful life of the vehicle, making transport more efficient and reducing its cost, and diminishing the issuance of pollution.

Also, because it is corrosion resistant, it allows the transportation of a great variety of chemical and food products, without their properties being altered.

Numerous products are produced, such as bus bodies, railway and tank wagons, radiators, and other. Their utilization in the production of cars still leaves a comprehensive growth margin in the country: whilst in the United States 120 kg. of metal is used, in Brazil this number falls to 45 kg.

Total guarantee of product integrity to the packaged products and rigorous quality control are in the factors that get package producers to select CBA aluminum.

Aluminum packaging, produced from foils and rolled sheet, is used mainly in the pharmaceutical, hygiene, food and drink markets. Also produced are yogurt lids, milk cans, chocolates, water: rolled structures for soups, juices, chocolate wrapping, medicament sachets, rolled tubes for personal hygiene, such as deodorants, etc.

Besides lightness, other important metal properties are waterproof and opacity, which avoid the passage of light, oxygen and humidity, and the resistance to corrosion.

CBA cables are spread all over Brazil and throughout the world, in a network of thousands of kilometers, carrying energy to households and companies, with quality and efficiency.

Aluminum has a comprehensive utilization in this sector, due mainly to its conductivity of electricity and its lightness, essential characteristics for the manufacture of cables for transmission networks. CBA cables were used in the transmission network of energy generated in Itaipú, at the frontier of Brazil with Paraguay.

CBA is each time closer to consumers. It is highly likely that, at this moment, there is at least one object close to you, produced with CBA aluminum.

It was in the manufacture of domestic utensils, especially aluminum pans, that the metal had its first applications. Since then, its market participation has constantly grown, due to its durability, modern appearance and easy conservation. It is employed, amongst other, in the production of beach tables and chairs, bicycles and ladders.
