RAL 9006

White Aluminium

RAL 9006 White Aluminium is a bright metallic silver that replicates the appearance of natural, uncoated aluminium. This is one of the most widely used metallic colors in the RAL system, specified for industrial equipment, commercial facades, and modern architectural cladding systems where a clean, contemporary metallic finish is desired. White Aluminium provides the look of raw aluminium with the durability and consistency of a controlled coating system, eliminating the variability of natural metal oxidation.
