Aluminum Composite Panels

Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP)

Aluminum Composite Panels is a type of flat panel that consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core. ACPs are frequently used for external cladding or facades of buildings, insulation, and signage.^[3] If the core material is flammable. Usage may be problematic as a building material and some jurisdictions have banned their use.^[4]

Aluminum sheets can be coated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), fluoropolymer resins (FEVE), or polyester paint. Aluminium can be painted in any kind of colour, and also. ACPs are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-metallic colours as well as patterns that imitate other materials, such as wood or marble. Also the core is commonly low-density polyethylene. Or a mix of low-density polyethylene and also mineral material to exhibit fire retardant properties.^[5]

3A Composites (formerly Alcan Composites & Alusuisse).Invented aluminium composites in 1964 and also commercial production of Alucobond commenced in 1969, followed by Dibond 20 years later.
