Because it contains a composition of 99% aluminum with minor traces of other elements, industry professionals refer to 1100 sheet aluminum as pure aluminum. Many fabrication and manufacturing operations choose this alloy for its versatility and workability. Aluminum 1100 has an ultra-low density, making it one of the lightest alloys for industrial use.
