Aluminium is a chemical element from the boron group. It is a silver-white, soft metal and is not magnetic. Aluminium is remarkable for the metal’s low density and its ability to resist corrosion. Aluminium is theoretically 100% recyclable. Recycling involves melting the scrap. Recycled aluminium is known as secondary aluminium, but maintains the same physical properties as primary aluminium. Secondary aluminium is produced in a wide range of formats and is employed in 80% of alloy injections. Another important use is for extrusion.
