DIBOND – a brand name world-widefor a pioneering aluminium compositepanel concept:The stove-lacquered cover sheet onthe front side and the mill-finish orstove-lacquered cover sheet on thereverse side are produced in a continu-ous finishing process. The result is a light-weight compositepanel with excellent product proper-ties for indoor and outdoor applica-tions – a material for creative plan-ners and technicians with unlimitedpossibilities for visionaries and prag-matics. And last but not least, anenvironment-conscious decision,where the price and performance ratiois balanced. DIBOND – for people with ideas.

"Avoid, reduce, recycle" is themotto for the builder of fair stands– an insight that leads toincreased modular and systemdesign, but however, in the case ofsingle stands, also mainly takesmodular stand elements and wallpanels, picture backings, ceilingconstructions and 3-dimensionaldisplay and product presenters intoconsideration. DIBOND convincesthe creative builder of fair stands ofits dimensional stability, reusabilityand wide range of processing andmachining possibilities. Its excellentlacquering and screen-printing prop-erties as well as the laminated foilqualities invite the use of colour andindividual surface profiling. Full sur-face foil replacement does not evenleave a mark on the lacquer finish.DIBOND stands for unlimited freedomin design and guarantees long life.

Being able to display and presentproducts and services in a clever wayat the point of sale impresses thecustomer and onlooker on an emo-tional level. Highly imaginative oreven bizarre elements can produce asuggestive effect. With DIBOND thedesigner discovers a material thatbesides filling functional and technicaldemands, allows optimum freedom,and highlights the product and thebrand without the urge to dominateitself. Three-dimensional forms can beachieved by means of folding andbending. Stands and supports can bejoined permanently using rivets,screws, hot-air welding or glueing.

The composite panel for foto mounting

A picture tells more than 1,000 words,especially a large-sized photo. Andwherever the artistic prop-erty of the picture frameeffectively accentuates the picture, the backing materialgains a particular signifi-cance for its commercialapplication. If, for example,the reverse side of the panelis used for laminating, thelacquered front side sets offthe overall aesthetic appearance ina special way for exhibits that stand orhang on their own. Whether a digitalprint or photo reproduction is con-cerned, you will discover DIBOND to bea backing for the highest demands.Excellent flatness and a flawless sur-face finish enable problem-freemounting with adhesive foil orsprayed adhesives.

The composite panel forshop design

The aspect that people enjoy most of all when shopping is seeking and finding a certain item. It isthe "finding out who's got it" search for a shop that stocks the specific item one is looking for andthe atmosphere that one enjoys. Architecture and interior design provide the frame conditions;material and aesthetics are responsible for the formal compactness. Here, the application ofDIBOND is favoured for displays, partitions or for cladding counters and goods containers; DIBOND SR has been specially developed for wall-claddings. Its structural lacquering excels due toits long-term durability, resistance and easiness to look after. A variety of profiles and fixation elements round off the entire program.

17

DIBOND composite panels are alsofully in trend for industrialapplications. The reason forthis development is due toseveral excellent properties:

a) its lightnessb) its comparably high rigidityc) its very good sound-absorbing

properties

Furthermore, due to its strongdurability, excellent processingand machining possibilities and itsfull recycling ability, DIBOND is asuitable material for a great manyindustrial applications.

The composite panel fortransporting

"Quicker, lighter, further" so the economic principle behind transport – irrespective of whether thetransport is by air, sea, road or rail. The ideal material is aluminium and together with it, thealuminium composite panel for installations and superstructures, special accessories, cases andboxes. Since DIBOND has an absorbing effect on vibration and sound besides its basic properties,and since its tech-nological qualitiesare favoured when itcomes to economic alter-natives to conventionalpanel materials, and sincethe price/performance ratioplays a decisive – and in the truesense of the word – bearing role...
