INTRODUCTIONAluminium Composite Panel (ACP) is a general term for panels constructed from two sheets of aluminium bonded to a core.

Also known as Sandwich panel, it is a structure made of three layers:

▪ Low density core inserted in between two relatively thin skin layers.

▪ This sandwich setup allows to achieve excellent mechanical performance at minimal weight.

▪ The very high rigidity of a sandwich panel is achieved thanks to interaction of its components under flexural load applied to the panel.

▪ Core takes the shear loads and creates a distance between the skins which take the in-plane stresses, one skin in tension, the other in compression.

CLASSIFICATION

PROPERTIES OF ACP▪ Aesthetically pleasing: Other means of making a

structure cannot deliver the result as Aluminum Composite Panel does.

▪ Good Insulation Material: Thermal and acoustical

▪ Dead weight of the Composite material is very low.

▪ Is resistant to heat up to a temperature as high as of 113 degree Celsius after which it starts deforming in the first place and then fails.

▪ Aluminum can be painted in any kind of color, and ACPs are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-metallic colors as well as patterns that imitate other materials, such aswood or marble.

Adding true beauty to a structure

An economical option

Easily and quickly processed Long

lasting durability

Excellent weather

resistance

Outstanding thermal comfort

Improved sound dampening

Least maintenance

required

ADVANTAGES

INSTALLATION OF ACP▪ Aluminium composite panel are installed on aluminium by rivet or screw Or

Cutting. Panel can be cut by suitable kinds of saws and lathes.

SALIENT FEATURES OF ACP• Very light reducing the dead weight of the building and frame loading.• Resistant to extremes of weather exposure and temperature.• Excellent UV characteristics retaining colour after long exposure.• High impact resistance• 100% maintenance free• Good sound insulation.• World renowned 3M tape is used for fixing the ACP to the aluminium frame.• Anti-Fungal protection• Lightweight, reducing frame loading and installation costs• Capable of being shaped and formed without loss of surface integrity• High strength and rigidity - outstanding deflection and bending strength

• Short time for Mounting : as result cuts down construction time• Good Sound insulation - reduces unwanted vibrational noise• Ease of installation - can be bent, cut, drilled, punched & stamped• Resistant to extremes of weather exposure and temperature• Excellent UV characteristics retaining colour after long exposure• Smooth paint finish and locquering - 3 layer PVdF 70% Kynar - 500• Superior flatness - ideal of creating smooth, monolithic surfaces• High impact resistance• Pollution, acid, alkali, and self-spray resistant finish• Very low coefficient of expansion• Minimal maintenance• Wide range of choice available.

ACP COLOURS

Standard colours are available & different textures are available on request (approx. - 100 colours).

Standard colours

Aluminium can be painted in any kind of colour, and 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. ACPs are frequently used for external cladding or facades of buildings, insulation & signage
