Alloy 1050/1060 customized color PE coating mirror aluminum sheets combine three customer-facing benefits in one material: high-purity aluminum for excellent formability, a mirror-bright reflective surface for premium appearance and light performance, and a PE (polyester) color coating for durable, controllable aesthetics. The result is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant sheet that is easy to fabricate into panels, trims, reflectors, and decorative parts-while maintaining consistent color and gloss across production batches.
Designed for fast-moving fabrication lines, these sheets are supplied with stable thickness tolerance, optional protective film, and a coating system tuned for indoor and general-purpose outdoor use. Whether you need a clean silver mirror, bold customized color, or a brand-specific finish, alloy 1050 and 1060 provide a reliable base metal for consistent polishing/anodizing compatibility and predictable bending behavior.
What makes this product different
Mirror-grade reflectivity with controlled visual uniformity
The aluminum substrate is processed to achieve a highly reflective, low-distortion mirror appearance. This improves perceived quality in decorative applications and enhances performance in lighting and reflective assemblies.Customized color PE coating
Polyester coating offers good color stability, strong adhesion, and cost-effective performance. Colors can be matched to common RAL/Pantone references (subject to approval samples), enabling consistent branding or architectural coordination.High-purity alloy base (1050 / 1060)
These alloys emphasize formability and corrosion resistance. They are favored where deep drawing, bending, roll forming, or stamping is needed without frequent cracking.Process-friendly supply options
Available in coils or cut-to-length sheets, with selectable coating thickness, protective film, and gloss level to suit lamination, profiling, or panel fabrication.
Typical applications
| Segment | Common Uses | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Lighting & reflectors | Lamp reflectors, luminaire trims, light boxes, LED channel liners | Mirror reflectivity, easy forming, uniform finish |
| Decoration & interiors | Ceiling panels, wall cladding accents, furniture trims, signage backgrounds | Premium look, customizable color, lightweight |
| Appliances & consumer goods | Decorative panels, nameplates, covers, housings | Stable coating, cleanability, consistent color |
| Packaging & displays | POS displays, cosmetic fixtures, branded panels | Color matching, high gloss, easy fabrication |
| General fabrication | Profiles, covers, edging, trim parts | Good bendability and corrosion resistance |
Note: For harsh marine/industrial exterior exposure or high-abrasion service, consider PVDF coating or harder surface systems; PE is optimized for general outdoor and indoor use.
Alloy 1050 and 1060 belong to the 1xxx series, known for high aluminum content and excellent workability.
| Item | Alloy 1050 | Alloy 1060 |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum purity (typical) | ≥ 99.50% Al | ≥ 99.60% Al |
| advantage | Balanced cost, very good formability | Slightly higher purity, often slightly better conductivity and corrosion resistance |
| Typical use preference | General decorative and formed parts | Higher brightness consistency, reflectors, applications favoring higher purity |
Chemical composition (typical limits)
Actual composition can vary by standard (EN/ASTM/GB). The table below reflects commonly referenced limits for commercial supply.
| Element | 1050 (max, %) | 1060 (max, %) |
|---|---|---|
| Si | 0.25 | 0.25 |
| Fe | 0.40 | 0.35 |
| Cu | 0.05 | 0.05 |
| Mn | 0.05 | 0.03 |
| Mg | 0.05 | 0.03 |
| Zn | 0.05 | 0.05 |
| Ti | 0.03 | 0.03 |
| Al | ≥ 99.50 | ≥ 99.60 |
Temper options and formability notes
Mirror aluminum sheets are commonly supplied in tempers that balance flatness, strength, and forming performance.
| Temper | Description | Practical guidance |
|---|---|---|
| O (annealed) | Softest, maximum ductility | Best for deep drawing and tight-radius bending |
| H14 / H24 | Half-hard / stabilized | Better flatness and stiffness; moderate forming |
| H18 / H19 | Hard | Higher strength, reduced bending margin; better dent resistance |
Selection tip: If your part has tight bends, embossed features, or deep draws, choose O or H24. If your priority is panel stiffness and handling resistance, H14–H18 is common.
PE coating system: what customers should know
Polyester coating is widely used for colored aluminum sheets due to its efficient cost-performance balance.
| Coating attribute | Typical range / option | Value to the customer |
|---|---|---|
| Coating type | PE (polyester), solid or metallic colors | Broad color library, consistent appearance |
| Coating structure | Single or double coat | Better color depth and durability with multi-coat options |
| Dry film thickness (DFT) | 15–25 μm (typical); higher on request | Improved color richness and service life with thicker film |
| Gloss | Matte / satin / high gloss | Controls visual style and fingerprint visibility |
| Protective film | PE film optional | Protects mirror surface during cutting/forming |
Performance note: For outdoor use, PE generally performs well in normal environments. For long-life façade projects or high-UV regions, PVDF is often specified; we can advise based on location and warranty targets.

performance indicators (typical)
Values depend on temper, thickness, and coating design. The following figures are used for general guidance and project comparison.
| Item | Typical level | Test / reference (common) |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror reflectivity | ≥ 85% (typical projects) | Measured by reflectometer; method by agreement |
| Coating adhesion | Pass (no peel) | Cross-hatch / T-bend by agreed standard |
| Minimum bend radius | 0T–2T (temper dependent) | Based on bending direction and tooling |
| Color tolerance | ΔE per sample agreement | Spectrophotometer matching |
| Surface protection | Film prevents handling scratches | Remove after fabrication |
Fabrication and handling guidance
| Process | Recommendation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting | Use sharp blades; support sheet to avoid waviness | Mirror surfaces reveal handling marks |
| Bending | Prefer larger radii for hard tempers; test first | Reduces micro-crack risk in coating |
| Drilling/punching | Use clean tooling and backing plates | Prevents burrs and edge chipping |
| Cleaning | Neutral cleaners; avoid abrasive pads | Maintains gloss and prevents swirl marks |
| Storage | Dry, ventilated, avoid condensation | Prevents water staining and film imprint |
Quality control and customization checklist
| Customer input | Options to define | Output you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Color target | RAL/Pantone/sample panel | Lab match + approval sample |
