METAPOR® Block Material

Availability

All METAPOR® products are available in square slabs of 500 x 500 mm with a thickness range from 10 mm up to 420 mm.

METAPOR® HD 100 AL / HD 210 AL and BF 100 AL are also available in slabs of 1000 x 500 mm with a thickness range from 15 mm up to 200 mm.




Services
  • Cutting Service

    METAPOR® slabs in your desired thickness and special cuts in dimensions according your specification are available upon request.

  • Gluing Service

    Lager dimensions up to 3500 x 2000mm can be bonded at our facilities upon request.

  • Coatings

    Various coatings can be applied without clogging the pores. Emergency running properties and surface protection requirements can be improved.


Component and Assembly Service

It’s possible to get your final METAPOR® product from us and our Partners. If you wish to get finished parts made out of METAPOR® please send us your inquiry. We are able to produce and assemble your parts based on technical drawings or 3D data.

Many of our METAPOR® distributors are specialized in certain fields of applications. We are looking forward to connect you with your nearest and best fitting METAPOR® partner.

All out of one hand makes your sourcing less complicated, efficient and saves time and money.



Machining

The machinability of METAPOR® is excellent. It’s possible to machine METAPOR® faster than aluminium and due to its naturally porosity there’s no need to drill vacuum holes in it.

METAPOR® has to be machined dry, without any coolant liquid. To prevent clogging of the pores, very sharp tools made out of HSS or carbide with edge angles for aluminium is recommended to use. It’s possible to saw, mill, turn, grind and even polish METAPOR® without closing the pores.
