ANODIZING

A wide range of anodizing treatment options are possible for the aluminium profile sections of this
system. The color choices from Gulf Extrusions range from Natural, Gold, and Bronze to Spectro
colors (Red, Blue, Green, and Gray).

This surface treatment process involves first pre-treatment with scotch brite brushing for the
unfinished profiles, and then subsequently fully immersing the aluminium profiles in an acidic
electrolyte solution through which electric current is passed creating an anodic film on the profiles
ranging from 5-30MICs.

The process is guaranteed and certified for use by QUALANOD - A quality label Organization to
guarantee high quality aluminium anodizing and the company’s ISO 9001 certification.

ISO 2360/2813/2409/2931
Minimum Film Thickness - 60 Microns

A wide choice of colors for powder coating can be used for the aluminium profile sections.

From Gulf Extrusions the following powder types are available

• Polyester Façade (PE-F)

• Super Durable Façade (SDF) & Hyper Durable Façade (HDF) (Where SDF & HDF are equivalent
to Poly-Vinyldine DiFluoride (PVDF) in terms of corrosion performance)
• Anti Bacterial (recommended to be used in Hospitals)
• Anti Static (recommended for laboratories, electronics assembly buildings) and Heat Resistant
in nature.

This surface treatment process involves the following pre-treatment

1. Degreasing
2. Washing
3. Etching
4. Washing
5. Chromatising
6. Double washing in dematerialized water

Once completed, powder is applied using an electrostatic spraying process with charged powder
particles, followed by curing in an oven under a controlled temperature of 180-200C for paint
polymerization where the paint layer is at least 60mic.

This whole process is certified for use from QUALICOAT - A quality label for coating on metal for
Architectural Applications.

GUARANTEE PERIOD:
10 years for PE-F Quality
25 years for PE-SDF

600-C INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM

TB-600 Thermal break Hinged system is a unique, elegant 60mm width frame designed to achieve a
better performance with a wide variety of frames available to cover the needed
applications. It is designed for heavy duty use (H-HC40) according to the American National
Standard. The results have been impressive to energy conservation, sound reduction, water and
dust proofing.

The importance of thermal conductivity in the aluminum frame becomes apparent when one
considers that the frame accounts for an average of 25% of the total window surface.

Normal Aluminum Profiles k=5.7 W/M²k

With 16mm Thermal Strip K=3.3 W/M²K

All profiles are available in all colors in order to meet today’s modern architectural requirements,
along with the possibility of bi-coloration due to the separation done by the thermal break strips.

For better performance of the System, Alignment cleats for the frame and the shutter are used.
Durable weather sealment mastic is a must at all joints. Specially designed EPDM gaskets are made
available with the system to enhance the performance and create easy assembly. Other
accessories such as rollers and flush handles come as part of the system.

Sections:

The sections in gulf extrusions line are produced by extruding aluminum on a wide range of presses
starting with a 800 tons to 4400 tons press. They are made of aluminum alloys 6060,6063,6082,6005
according to British Standard Specification for extrusion Dimensions Tolerances BS EN 755-9:2008
and BS EN 12020-2:2008

Frame:

Tubular with a width of 60mm,a wide range of frames is available to suit most of the required
application in the building codes.

Sash:

Tubular straight. They are 60 or 67 mm thick. A wide range available to cover all applications of
doors, single and double leaves and outward openings even swing doors.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM 600-C

Assembly:

Assembly of the frames and sashes is done by 45° cut whereas door bottom on profiles are
custom 90°.

Glazing:

Standard or insulating ranges from “18 to 38”mm maintained by 3 EPDM gaskets and a glazing
bead must be on the inside installation.

Sealing:

Sealing is achieved by the compression of 3 EPDM gaskets pressured during closing.

Performance:

1. 18.6MM Polymide strip can withstand up to 220˚C with high thermal resistance to reduce
heat transfer from k= 5.7 W/M²K to K=3.0 W/M²K
2. Insulated glass unit, ensuring the performance of the system interms of energy conservation
and sound insulation.
3. Outer contact gasket for efficient sound insulation and sealing against water and dust.
4. Inner gasket to enhance the system performance.
5. Central sealing Gasket.
