J73A UP® – Durable. Sophisticated. Premium crafted. Built to Last.

J73A UP® is a durable, 20 µm pre-anodized aluminum solution modeled after Novelis J57S UP®, offering strong corrosion and weather resistance for architectural uses like façade cladding and roofing. The anodized coil features high surface hardness, consistent finish, and lasting color thanks to outstanding UV resilience.

Coil-anodized Aluminium

The industrial coil anodizing process gives Novelis J73A UP® reliable quality and cost-effectiveness. It suits various functional and decorative needs across building, engineering, electronics, and chemical industries.

Versatile Applications

Novelis J73A UP® delivers impressive hardness and weather resistance, earning A1 (DIN 4102) and non-flammable ratings. Its uniform anodizing layer blocks edge defects from batch processes, making it ideal for structures over 20 meters tall, aluminum façade cladding, and roofing.

Key Features:

  • Permanent metallic gloss
  • Strong bond preventing peeling or chipping
  • Non-flammable (96/603/EC), non-combustible (DIN 4102)
  • Durable and low-maintenance
  • Non-toxic (hot-water sealing)
  • Electrically insulated
  • Highly recyclable

Color

Designed for accentuating contrast or blending with surroundings, Novelis J73A UP® supports versatile facade cladding design.

Product Life

Resistant to corrosion between pH 5.5–8 and maintains integrity even when bent. Its anodic layer exceeds international standards and offers superior sealing against corrosion; no peeling or filiform corrosion occurs due to its firm bond with the base material.

Proven Protection

Continuous-anodized quality from a single source ensures a long service life for this aluminum coil stock. Many buildings with continuous-anodized facades – some built 20 years ago – have been examined by independent engineers to determine the quality of the anodic layer. Their results:

  • No evidence of corrosion on anodic layer
  • Thickness of anodic layer virtually unchanged
  • Adhesive properties still intact – no efflorescence, peeling or blistering
  • No fading, yellowing or discoloration of natural and bronze anodized material.
