The density of aluminum profile is only 2.7g / cm3, which is about 1/3 of the density of steel, copper or brass (respectively 7.83g / cm3, 8.93g / cm3). Under most environmental conditions, including air, water (or brine), petrochemicals, and many chemical systems, aluminum can show excellent corrosion resistance. Aluminum profiles are often chosen for their excellent electrical conductivity. On the basis of equal weight, the electrical conductivity of aluminum is nearly twice that of copper. Aluminum profiles are non-ferromagnetic, which is an important feature for the electrical and electronics industries. Aluminum profiles are not self-igniting, which is important for applications involving handling or contact with flammable and explosive materials
