GULF
EXTRUSIONS
Gulf Extrusions Co. LLC, the flagship company of the Al Ghurair Group of Companies, was founded
in 1978, Dubai, UAE where it has over the years earned the reputation known as one of the most
innovative and reliable companies in the Middle East.

Located close to its raw material supplier Dubai Aluminium Company Ltd (DUBAL), the world’s
largest single smelter site, Gulf Extrusions has become one of the largest extrusion plants
in the region.

Gulf Extrusions quality products can be seen in many of today’s progressive structures. The
company was formed with the sole purpose to meet the increasing demands for aluminium
extrusions in domestic, regional and international markets.

ANODIZING

A wide range of anodizing treatment options are possible for the aluminium profile sections of this
system. The color choices from Gulf Extrusions range from Natural, Gold, and Bronze to Spectro
colors (Red, Blue, Green, and Gray).

This surface treatment process involves first pre-treatment with scotch brite brushing for the
unfinished profiles, and then subsequently fully immersing the aluminium profiles in an acidic
electrolyte solution through which electric current is passed creating an anodic film on the profiles
ranging from 5-30MICs.

The process is guaranteed and certified for use by QUALANOD - A quality label Organization to
guarantee high quality aluminium anodizing and the company’s ISO 9001 certification.

POWDER COATING

• Horizontal & Vertical Powder coating lines with an Annual Capacity of 24 000 MT
Powder Coating BS: 6496 Clause: 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, & 10.8
ISO 2360/2813/2409/2931
Minimum Film Thickness - 60 Microns

A wide choice of colors for powder coating can be used for the aluminium profile sections.

From Gulf Extrusions the following powder types are available

• Polyester Façade (PE-F)

• Super Durable Façade (SDF) & Hyper Durable Façade (HDF) (Where SDF & HDF are equivalent
to Poly-Vinyldine DiFluoride (PVDF) in terms of corrosion performance)
• Anti Bacterial (recommended to be used in Hospitals)
• Anti Static (recommended for laboratories, electronics assembly buildings) and Heat Resistant
in nature.

This surface treatment process involves the following pre-treatment

1. Degreasing
2. Washing
3. Etching
4. Washing
5. Chromatising
6. Double washing in dematerialized water

Once completed, powder is applied using an electrostatic spraying process with charged powder
particles, followed by curing in an oven under a controlled temperature of 180-200C for paint
polymerization where the paint layer is at least 60mic.

This whole process is certified for use from QUALICOAT - A quality label for coating on metal for
Architectural Applications.

GUARANTEE PERIOD:
10 years for PE-F Quality
25 years for PE-SDF

900-C INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION TO THE SYSTEM

The 900 Thermal Break Sliding System is designed for heavy duty use (H-HC40) according to the
American National Standard. The results have been impressive and apply to energy conservation,
sound reduction, water & dust proofing.

The 900 Thermal Break with 24mm glass-fiber reinforced polyamide insulation has the sought after
properties of high thermal resistance, rigidity hardness and strength.

The importance of thermal conductivity in the aluminium frame becomes apparent when
one considers that the frame accounts for an average of 25% of the total window surface.

The System consists of a single frame and sash profile that will be used on all four sides, with snap
on track-clips. The 16mm polyamide strips are introduced into the frame and sash profiles and then
externally crimped using special tooling. The compressive test of the crimped profile is tested to
ensure maximum strength.

The System covers two, three and four sashes including profiles for top and bottom fixed lights.
Special lids have been designed to cover the frame tracks at the area where the sliding
shutter is fixed.

In order to meet the needs of today’s architects, window and door systems must be provided in a
variety of colours. This system has the special advantage of permitting subsequent application of
all presently known surfaces suitable for use with aluminium either before or after the thermal break
strips have been assembled.

For better performance of the system, alignment cleats for the frame and shutter are used. Durable
weather sealing mastic is a must at all joints. Specially designed EPDM gaskets are made available
with the system to enhance the performance and create easy assembly. Other accessories such
as roller & flush handles come as part of the system.
