NOVELIS DEUTSCHLAND GMBH OHLER® - FLEXROHRE - Heat & Energy Components

By creating specialized aluminum alloys, pioneering new treatments and combining aluminum components with other materials such as paper, plastic and fiberglass, Novelis has become the global quality leader for the transportation manufacturing industry. We have created a range of transportation manufacturing products that provide insulation against heat, sound and gases, high strength so components remain effective under pressure, and superior flexibility for a full range of designs and implementations. Key Novelis aluminum components include heat exchangers, heat protection mats and sleeves, energy absorption elements, hoses, silencers and flexible tubes, including heat protection tubes, air ducts and exhaust pipes. Novelis is a leading supplier of light-gauge, narrow-slit aluminum fin stock (bare and clad) and brazing sheet used in the production of heat exchangers.

Our OHLER product line is specifically designed for use in automobiles and caravans. Novelis is one of the leading suppliers of flexible tubes and hoses for the automotive sector with products used for heat protection, air ducts, exhaust pipes, thermal insulation and energy absorption.

Heat protection tubes are made by layering several kinds of aluminum alloy foil and other materials, such as fiberglass and plastic with corrugations. The excellent reflectivity of the aluminum alloy on the external surface reflects radiant heat, and its insulating power additionally serves to protect the aluminum flexible tube’s content from heat sources. These products have great flexibility but high dimensional stability, and they can be compressed or extended as required. They can also be fastened or mounted easily by crimping the end fittings.

Heat protection sleeves and mats extend our expertise in protective aluminum flexible tubing to other shapes and uses. Layers of aluminum foil are combined with fiberglass for products that can withstand temperatures up to 750°C.

Air flow routing tubes are designed to channel different kinds of air to appropriate destinations. If you have a specialized vehicle and need superior flexibility in your air duct tubing, these products lead the industry. CARADUCT® flexible tubes are multi-layer, grooved tubes that are wound from a combination of aluminum and paper layers. They possess a particularly high crushing strength and have very good insulation properties. Through high flexibility and small bending radii, they offer good space usage, particularly when laying out in corners. Dükerrohr is a twin flexible tube distinguished by a particularly high insulation effectiveness to reduce temperature drops in the warm air ducting. Since it is installed outside of the vehicle, it carries additional protection against water and oil splashes.

CORMIFLEX® tubes are folded spiral-seam pipes made of high-grade steel precision strip. Reaching up to 350°C, their high temperature resistance is predominantly used for exhaust gas routing in passenger car, utility vehicle, RV and marine heating units. CORMIFLEX® PLUS bears additional resistance against corrosion due to salt and other aggressive agents.

High-Temperature insulating hose (HT hose) protects heat-conveying lines and prevents thermal damage to adjoining parts with a fiberglass and double-coated silicon rubber top layer. The HT hose is available as a self-contained or re-closable sleeve as well as a custom-made mat. The approximate surface temperature of the duct can be up to 500°C.

SIGNICOLOR is a pre-coated aluminum sheet that combines aesthetics and functionality. The high-quality surface of SIGNICOLOR is ideal for screen and digital printing, laminating and lacquering for aluminum signs. Due to its smooth, high-gloss finish, no further treatment is needed after delivery. This sheet is ideal for a broad range of applications, including advertising signs, pylons, informational signs, logos and stairway advertising. Used for aluminum signs both indoor and outdoor, SIGNICOLOR undergoes strict quality controls. It’s easy to handle, cost-effective, stable and durable.

Aluminum labels provide an attractive and memorable way for manufacturers to draw attention to their products in the marketplace and differentiate their brands, particularly for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). Whether they are on bottles or boxes, aluminum labels stand out. As the leader in the field of paper lacquering and metalizing, Novelis offers an unrivaled product portfolio to satisfy the requirements of the entire supply chain for metalized label papers, from printing to application. Our facilities provide excellent product qualities in reels and sheets, with properties fit for printing, converting and labeling. With Novelis aluminum label papers, our customers can take advantage of unique lacquering applications, high-gloss finishing, consistent embossing and sheeting, good printability in all printing processes, fast-drying ink, easy die-cutting, excellent lay-flat properties, high-speed labeling, high moisture resistance, fast wash-off times and high ink retention.

Novelis aluminum delivers unparalleled results in advertising signage, conveying messages with maximum impact, thanks to decades of innovation and experience. We can meet custom application requirements for indoor or outdoor aluminum advertising signs, regardless of climate, in a variety of colors and surfaces. SIGNICOLOR® aluminum sheeting by Novelis delivers a smooth, high-gloss surface, allowing aluminum signs to remain clear and bright so they stand out in any environment. With a range of surfaces to choose from, plus processing flexibility, Novelis customers have all the options they need to bring their design to life in the most brilliant way, with both digital and screen printing techniques.
