Stucco Embossed Aluminum Jacketing Cladding

As a professional manufacturer, Worthwill specialize in providing durable, high-performance protective solutions for the insulation systems of pipes, air ducts, and HVAC equipment.

What is Stucco Embossed Aluminum Jacketing?

Stucco Embossed Aluminum Jacketing (Aluminum Cladding) is an aluminum protective layer specifically designed for insulation systems. Through precision embossing, a rough, stucco-like texture is formed on the aluminum surface — this not only solves the problems of ordinary aluminum sheets (such as easy scratching and high reflectivity) but also blocks moisture, UV rays, and physical damage. It is a core component for industrial/commercial insulation protection.

Core Textures

Orange Peel Texture: The most commonly used type. Its fine concave-convex surface hides scratches, reduces reflectivity, and eliminates glare hazards near roads or in workshops.
Cobblestone Texture: Customizable, with stronger graininess and higher rigidity. Suitable for heavy-duty equipment that requires high protection levels.

Three Moisture Barrier Options

Polysurlyn Moisture Barrier: Suitable for humid outdoor scenarios, with strong corrosion resistance.
Polycraft Moisture Barrier: More cost-effective, ideal for dry indoor environments to meet basic moisture protection needs.
Painted：PE, HDPE or PVDF coating + Anodized.

Why to Stucco Emboss?

Stronger Structure: 15% higher bending resistance, safeguarding the integrity of insulation systems.
Cost Savings: 20% lower damage rate and 27% reduction in life-cycle costs.
Safety & Compliance: Low-reflectivity design eliminates glare risks, meeting safety standards.
Longer Service Life: Enhanced corrosion protection, with a service life of up to 25 years.
Better Aesthetics: Texture hides scratches, suitable for various application scenarios.
