Raffir Alume
Raffir Alume is a composite material with aluminium meshes encapsulated in a translucent epoxy resin. The material has unique three-dimensional textures with contrasts between satin light grey aluminium and deep colored semi-transparent resin.
This beautiful new material comes in 6 different colors: black, blue, brown, green, yellow and red. It is suitable for high end products in various crafts and industries, especially in uses such as unique handles and in jewelery manufacturing. The material is recommended for any small or medium scale product, in which aesthetics and uniqueness are crucial.
Raffir Alume is easily machined and can obtain a beautiful high-gloss finish after polishing. Water grinding is recommended for easy and safe processing.
Standard safety measures should be followed while machining the materials, and inhaling dust particles should be avoided by using local exhaust ventilation and respirator.
Variations of Raffir Noble
The classic Raffir Noble comes in black and golden color. However, it is now also available in our special effect versions (Raffir Uranium and Raffir Blue Uranium). Furthermore, you can choose between meshes in brass, bronze or both. Finally, we also have two different pattern options. Together, these combinations give you the variety you need to make your products stand out.
Processing
You can easily craft or CNC-mill Raffir Noble. You can even use the same tools as you would for wood or bone. Furthermore, it obtains a beautiful high-gloss finish after polishing. We also recommend water grinding for easy and dust free processing. Finish sanding at grit 400 or higher before polishing. Then polish directly on a medium hard cotton wheel with a polish wax for hard plastics. Alternatively, tumble it to the wanted gloss level.
