Aluminium Extrusion Scrap (Painted / Thermal Break) is traded in scrap form, sourced from painted or thermal-break profiles. Aluminium scrap is metal recovered from production waste or end-of-life products, traded by grade such as UBC, extrusion scrap, mixed castings or turnings. It is remelted into secondary alloys or, when clean and segregated, back into wrought products.

What to check before you buy
- Recovery %: Recovery is the metal you get back after melting scrap or dross. Agree how it will be checked, for example a trial melt on a sample, and how it affects the rate.
- Contamination: Iron, plastic, rubber, dirt and other metals reduce value and can spoil a melt. Agree an acceptable limit and how deductions will be made on arrival.
- Moisture / oil: Wet or oily scrap and turnings lose weight on melting and are a safety risk in the furnace. Agree a limit and whether material must be dried or de-oiled.
- Packing: Agree how material is bundled, strapped, palletised or wrapped, and how it is protected from moisture and damage in transit. Poor packing is a common cause of claims.
- Spectro report: A spectro (optical emission spectrometer) report shows the element-wise chemistry of a sample. Agree who draws the sample, from which part of the lot, and which lab result will settle a dispute.
- Lot check: Ask for photos of the actual lot, the grade or ISRI code word, and how much iron, plastic, rubber, oil, moisture or dirt is present. Agree a recovery or contamination basis and how weight and deductions will be settled.
