Coils can be supplied in master coil, slit coil, narrow strip or roof roll widths according to your profiling machine, fabrication process and packaging requirements.

What Is 3105 Aluminum Alloy?

3105 aluminum is part of the Al-Mn-Mg alloy family. Manganese contributes to strength and corrosion resistance, while magnesium supports workability and mechanical performance. This makes 3105 a commonly used alloy for painted building products that require bending, profiling or continuous roll forming.

The alloy is not intended for high-strength structural applications. Its value lies in reliable forming performance, good atmospheric corrosion resistance and compatibility with durable coil coating systems.

For customers who need an uncoated substrate, see our 3105 Aluminum Coil page. For painted sheet formats used in fabrication and panel production, visit 3105 painted aluminum sheet.

Applications of 3105 Color Coated Aluminum Coil

3105 color coated aluminum coil is commonly processed into roofing, wall cladding, rainwater components, shutters and building trim. Its combination of formability, corrosion resistance and coating compatibility makes it a practical choice for continuous roll-forming and color-matched architectural products.

Roofing Panels and Roll-Formed Roof Systems

3105 prepainted aluminum coil can be roll formed into corrugated sheets, standing seam panels, tile-profile roofing and other lightweight roof products. Coil width, thickness, temper and coating system can be selected according to the forming equipment, panel profile and installation requirements.

For projects focused on roofing products, see color coated aluminum coil for roofing.

Gutters, Downspouts and Rainwater Components

Color coated aluminum is also used for gutters, downspouts, fascia channels and related rainwater accessories. The coil can be slit to the required width and formed into long, continuous sections, while the painted surface provides a consistent appearance across roof drainage components and exterior trim.

Wall Cladding, Soffits and Architectural Panels

3105 coated aluminum coil can be fabricated into wall panels, soffits, façade components, decorative trims and other formed architectural products. For exterior applications, the coating should be selected according to the expected UV exposure, climate and service environment, with PE, HDP or PVDF systems available for different performance requirements.

Shutters, Louvers and Roller Shutter Slats

Its balance of formability and strength makes 3105 suitable for profiled products such as shutters, louvers and roller shutter slats. Before production, the required temper and coil dimensions should be matched with the bending radius, roll-forming method and finished profile to help maintain dimensional consistency during continuous processing.

Embossed Roofing and Decorative Metal Products

When a textured surface is required, color coated 3105 aluminum can be supplied for selected embossed roofing and decorative sheet products. Embossing can change the surface appearance and profile, so the alloy, coating condition and forming process should be considered together when specifying the material.

Fascia, Flashing and Exterior Building Trim

Prepainted 3105 aluminum is used for flashing, fascia, window trim, edge profiles and other formed building accessories. These products can be produced from slit coil or cut-to-length material, with the painted finish allowing exterior components to be coordinated with roofing, siding and wall cladding.

Slit 3105 Aluminum Coil for Roofing and Roll Forming

Roofing and roll forming equipment does not always use the same coil width or winding specification. Our 3105 color coated aluminum coil can be supplied as master coils or slit to narrower widths for products such as roofing panels, gutters, shutters, flashing and other formed profiles.

3105 color coated aluminum slit coil for roofing and roll forming
  • Master coils for roofing and wide-strip processing

Slitting is based on the requirements of the forming line and the finished profile. When requesting a quotation, it is useful to provide the required thickness, slit width, coil inner diameter, maximum coil weight, temper, coating system and application. These details help avoid unnecessary adjustments during roll forming and make the material easier to integrate into an existing production line.

3105 vs. 3003 vs. 3005 Color Coated Aluminum Coil

Alloy selection should be based on forming requirements, finished profile design, required strength and the service environment.

Alloy Typical Positioning Common Applications
3003 General-purpose Al-Mn alloy Basic sheet metal, panels, general fabrication
3105 Al-Mn-Mg alloy for painted and roll-formed products Roofing, gutters, wall panels, shutters
3005 Higher-strength option for selected building profiles Roofing, cladding and more demanding formed products

If your application requires a widely used general-purpose alloy, review our 3003 color coated aluminum coil. For projects requiring a different balance of strength and formability, you may also compare 3005 prepainted aluminum coil.

Custom 3105 Color Coated Aluminum Coil Specifications

Color is only one part of a coated aluminum coil specification. For roofing, wall panels, gutters and other formed products, the coil also needs to suit the customer's forming equipment, panel dimensions and installation environment. We can configure the 3105 color coated aluminum coil by thickness, width, slit width, temper, coil weight, inner diameter, coating system and surface finish.

The coating should be selected according to how the finished product will be used. PE is commonly specified for general decorative and building applications, while HDP or PVDF may be considered where greater weathering performance is required. Outdoor exposure, sunlight, humidity, coastal conditions and the expected service period should all be considered before choosing the coating system.

For an accurate quotation, please provide: application, alloy and temper, thickness, coil width, slit width if required, coil weight, coil ID, coating system, color reference, quantity and destination port.
