Product Overview
Aluminum 1100 diamond plate, also known as 1100 aluminum tread plate or 1100 aluminum checker plate, is a commercially pure aluminum sheet featuring a raised diamond pattern on one side and a flat surface on the other. With an aluminum purity of at least 99.0%, this lightweight, corrosion-resistant material delivers excellent anti-slip performance across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and transportation applications.
As a leading aluminum diamond plate manufacturer and supplier in China, Qida Metal offers 1100 aluminum tread plate in custom sizes, multiple tempers, and factory-direct pricing to meet your project requirements.
Key Features & Advantages
1. Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum 1100 naturally forms a dense, protective oxide layer (Al₂O₃) on its surface, providing outstanding resistance to weathering, moisture, and chemical exposure. Unlike steel checker plates, 1100 aluminum diamond plate will never rust – even in outdoor, high-humidity, or wash-down environments.
2. Lightweight & Easy to Handle
With a density of approximately 2.70 g/cm³ – only about one-third the weight of steel – 1100 aluminum tread plate significantly reduces transportation costs and makes manual installation, cutting, and fabrication far easier than steel alternatives.
3. Superior Formability & Workability
The 1100 alloy offers exceptionally high ductility. You can easily drill, cut, saw, weld, and bend this material at sharp 90-degree angles without cracking along the bend lines. This makes it ideal for custom fabrication and on-site modification.
4. Reliable Anti-Slip Surface
The raised diamond pattern (typically 1.0mm – 1.5mm in height) generates strong friction against shoe soles and vehicle tires, greatly reducing the risk of slips and falls in workplaces, on vehicles, and in public spaces.
5. Non-Magnetic & Spark-Free
Aluminum 1100 is non-magnetic and does not produce sparks upon impact. This makes it a safe choice for environments with sensitive electronic equipment or flammable materials.
6. Excellent Thermal & Electrical Conductivity
With thermal conductivity of approximately 220 W/m·K, 1100 aluminum diamond plate is an excellent choice for applications requiring heat dissipation or electrical conductivity.
7. 100% Recyclable & Environmentally Friendly
Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties, and scrap pieces hold high salvage value.
8. No Low-Temperature Brittleness
Unlike some metals that become brittle in cold conditions, 1100 aluminum actually improves in strength and plasticity as temperatures drop below zero. This makes it an outstanding choice for cold storage facilities and refrigerated environments.
