Here are some technical facts about Aluminium Composite Panels-
With time, the composition of aluminium composite panels has changed to better fit the needs of modern architecture. The overall thickness of the panels used is between 3-6 mm(0.12-0.24in.). Whereas the width of the aluminium coil ranges between 0.2-0.8 mm.
The core may belong to any of the three general categories:
1. PE cores – these cores are made of 100% polyethylene (PE) and are flammable.
2. FR cores – these cores are made up of a composite material containing 70%-90% of mineral wool/rock fibre/rock wool, which are non-combustible and act as a fire retardant.
3. Aluminium core – these are either made of the aluminium honeycomb structure or solid aluminium.
Different paints and coatings on ACPs are also developed:
1. PE/FR Constructional/Architectural Panel sheets coated with PVDF resin, (XT/ High Durable) polyester paint.
2. Panel sheets coated with Nano PVDF
3. Digital Printing/Signage Panel sheets coated with FEVE resin or high-quality polyester.
Due to the modifications in the core and panel quality, the use of ACPs today can be found in various projects and spaces - Internal Partitions, Building Renovations, Curved Fascia's, Container Constructions, Internal Wall Coverings, Architectural Claddings, Machine Coverings and many more.
