The Decoral surface finishing technology ensures a distinctive appearance for the coated surface.
Surface Finishing
The Decoral surface finishing technology ensures a distinctive appearance for the coated surface. This design effect is achieved by applying a special powder coating followed by the sublimation of ink from a transfer film, into which the coated item is placed. This film transfers decorations such as wood, granite, marble, or other unique patterns.
Why Choose the Decoral Line?
- All colors and films used are certified by Qualideco.

Decoral® Process
The Decoral manufacturing company specializes in decorating aluminum profiles and sheets at a temperature of 200 °C, utilizing sublimation for the decoration process. Sublimation is a chemical-physical process in which a substance transitions from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through a liquid phase.
Decoral Process in Practice
To decorate items, we need the following:
- Decoration Equipment
- Special Polyurethane Paint with sublimation properties
- Transfer Foil printed with sublimation ink
Technological Procedure:
-
Preparation: After suitable pre-treatment, a base layer of electrostatically applied polyurethane powder paint (60-90 microns thick) is coated onto the metal object and baked at 200 °C.
-
Cooling and Foiling: After cooling, the item is wrapped in sublimation ink foil and placed on a frame from which all air is evacuated. This vacuum ensures the foil adheres perfectly to the surface of the item.
-
Sublimation: The frame is transferred to the oven, where the ink penetrates the baked layer of powder paint at 200 °C, resulting in a perfect decorative finish.
-
Final Steps: After removing the frame from the oven, the item is air-cooled, and the ink-free foil is easily peeled away.
How Does the Decoration Process Work?
-
Selection of Decor: The customer selects a decor, which consists of a base polyurethane powder paint and a special foil containing the desired pattern. The surface structure can be either smooth or have a fine texture, determined by the selected base powder color.
-
Powder Coating: The material must first be powder coated, which includes chemical pre-treatment, drying, powder application, and baking.
-
Decoration: The decorated material is placed in a "sleeve" made of Decoral foil. This foil contains ink and the corresponding pattern, ensuring the final effect when combined with the polyurethane powder paint. The thermal transfer occurs at approximately 200 °C for about 15 minutes on the Decoral line.
-
Post-Processing: After exiting the Decoral line, the operator removes the foil, which is now pattern-free and cannot be reused. The item is then inspected, packaged according to customer preferences, and prepared for dispatch.

Almost any item made from aluminum or iron can be decorated, but our company primarily focuses on aluminum profiles.
