Aluminium composite panelACP

The aluminium composite panels are available in various thickness

ranging from 1mm to 6m

this thickness includes a varying thickness of top and bottom

aluminium sheet with polyurethane (PE) board sandwiched between

them. Which is the coated with either polyester or PVDF resin

Aluminium panels are used wall claddings due to its high durability

and high strengths

These could be used as a cladding over an existing masonry curtain

wall, with an grid work of aluminum sections as a bearing structure

bolted to the wall, the composite panels are inserted and fastened

onto the frame, and a silicon sealant is used to caulk the horizontal

and vertical gaps.

Appearance

Aluminium panels provide colour uniformity and are available in a large number of

colours, elegant patterns and varied textural qualities

The highly mechanized production process ensures smooth and excellent flatness

to aluminium composite panels eliminating distortion or deflection

. It comes as a final product and can be directly exposed to the natural elements

without any coating or protection.

It comes as panels of various sizes, which can be bent, cut, drilled, punched and

easily shaped to achieve complex designs by using standard wood and metal

working tools.

The joints are finished with silicon sealant to caulk the joints, which are seen as a

grid.

The aluminium composite panel has a superior ratio of strength/rigidity to weight,

as compared to steel

Being light in weight, it is easy to carry, simple to form.

The unique composite construction of strong aluminium skins firmly bonded to

visco-elastic core (in composite panels with polyurethane infill) provides high

impact, blow, vibration and breakage resistance.

Being very light and strong it weighs less than 1/10th of conventional cladding

materials such as marble, granite, concrete etc., it reduces the dead weight of the

building.

Thermal Properties

In Aluminium composite panel, the infill material usually an insulating material

like polyurethane provides its thermal resistance.

aluminum is a very good conductor of heat. This translates into high heat gain/loss

through aluminum curtain wall panels and mullions.

ways to compensate for this heat loss, - addition of thermal breaks. The panels are

in-filled with polyurethane boards to improve its thermal performance.

Thermal breaks are barriers between exterior metal and interior metal, usually made

of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These breaks provide a significant decrease in the

thermal conductivity of the curtain wall.

Sound Insulation

Provides an excellent soundproof effect.

Fire and Vermin Resistance

unless alternative fire retarding systems are in place a envelope designed

with aluminium components can be a liability.

They do not have any problems with vermin attacks, infestation or mould

growth.

Durability and Moisture Resistance

Aluminum is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion and with high strength to weight ratio . this makes a durable material for use in all applications both internal and externalIt is coated with superior quality PVDF (fluorocarbon, min 70%) resin or polyester to ensure additional durability, stability, corrosion and weather resistancePolyethylene in short as (PE), the core material used in most aluminium composite panels is a petroleum-based product with proven exterior and interior weather resistance properties. It also contributes to the strength, flexibility and stability of ACP

Toxicity and Breath-ability

Aluminium composite panels, is inert, non-toxic and has no significant emission that might cause health problems.

Buildability, Availability and Cost

Aluminium composite panels are quick and easy to install due to their

lightweight and can be installed using the prevailing modern fabrication

facilities.

The initial cost may seem to be high but, the aesthetics, durability, low

maintenance etc. has caught the imagination of the people increasing the

usage of the product many fold.
