SHEET DIMENSIONS - The maximum sheet widths are 1250 and 1500 with lengths of 1800 to 4000 readily available. Other widths and lengths are available on request, however minimum quantities apply.
|
LAYING OUT SHEETS - Aluminium composite panels have what is referred to as a 'grain' which reflects light differently along one axis. Generally this grain is aligned with the length of the sheet. To avoid possible reflection differences (especially for metallic colours), it is recommended that panels be installed in the same (parallel) direction. Hence it is necessary to maintain an operational maximum width in either the vertical or horizontal direction. |

Parallel grains reflect the light in the same way. |
| COMPOSITION - ALUCOMATŪ & ALUCOMAT-FRŪ is composed of a CLASS 1 (BS476) thermoplastic- polyethylene core, or the non-combustible CLASS 0 (BS476) fire-rated compound core sandwiched between two aluminium alloy sheets through continuous heat & pressure process with the problem-free lamination adhesive foil. The surface is typically coil coated with KYNARŪ 500, or PPG DuranarŪ XL Plus PolyVinylidene DiFluoride (*PVDF) resin fluoropolymer coil coatings, also available in 3 layers, with peelable protective film on one surface and wash (service) coat on the reverse side. |
 |
ALUCOMATŪ Advantage & Features:
| Lightweight yet very strong - Comes with proven strength-to-weight ratio surpassing solid aluminium. The load for external walls is reduced by 40% compare to solid aluminium sheet with the same rigidity, which is structurally safer. Being easy to ship and install, makes it highly cost-effective for the construction budgets. |
 |
| Fire Retardant - Passed the American SAFETY/ CLASS A rating per ASTM E84 and the British per BS- 476, also Taiwanese CNS-6532 ,etc. It performed excellent in flame spread and smoke development. |  |
| Weather Durability and Corrosion Resistance- |
 |
10 Years Warranty on Coating -
KynarŪ 500, or PPG DuranarŪ XL Plus Polyvinylidene
Difluoride (PVDF) resin coil coatings, including pre-
formulated standard colors and custom colors, are all
providing you the promising consistency and evenness of the
roller-coated paint quality. It has excellent UV characteristics,
retains color after many years.
Good Thermal Insulation -
The PE or fire-rated core isolates the
differential
exterior temperature and moisture, which allow
you to save on the utility bills.
Great Impact Resistant -
Viscoelastic high molecular resin comprises the core,
preventing cracking or breaking, yet comes with the
exceptional high stiffness and impact resistance.
Outstanding Sound Insulation -
Compared to the other materials with the same weight (steel,
solid aluminium, tile, plywood, etc.), it has a greater sound
transmission loss.
Superior Machinability -
It can be easily fixed to any types of cladding applications
which consist many shape, angle, curve and radius by
cutting, bending, curving, folding, fastening, welding, edge
jointing & close-out, etc. All processes are possible by the
ordinary metal and wood working machinery to shape the
distinctive manifestation of your design concept.
Environmentally Friendly -
ALUCOMATŪ is fully recyclable, i.e. both the core material
and the aluminium cover sheets can be re-melted and used
for the production of new material.
Ozone Friendly: Neither during the production of ALUCOMATŪ nor after
being applied as a building cladding, are volatile
propellant agents of type CFC set free. ALUCOMATŪ core
material does not contain nitrogen, chlorine or sulfur. By
means of its positive contribution to the protection of the
environment, the choice of ALUCOMATŪ for a huge variety
of projects is brilliant.
