Aluminium composite panel ACP

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 external It is coated with superior quality PVDF (fluorocarbon, min 70%) resin or polyester to ensure additional durability, stability, corrosion and weather resistance Polyethylene 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.
