Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP)
Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP)
Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) is a high-performance building material composed of two aluminum sheets, typically 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm thick, bonded to a solid core using advanced adhesive technology. The core material varies depending on the intended use: standard ACP uses polyethylene (PE) for general purposes, while fire-resistant versions use mineral-filled cores like magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide. The surface of the aluminum is often coated with protective layers such as PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) or polyester for enhanced durability and weather resistance. ACP panels are manufactured in thicknesses ranging from 2 mm to 6 mm, with common sizes like 1220 mm x 2440 mm.
Key characteristics include:
-
- Lightweight: Weighing about 5.5–7.5 kg/m², it reduces structural load.
-
- High Strength: The composite structure offers excellent rigidity and impact resistance.
-
- Weather Resistance: PVDF coatings withstand UV rays, corrosion, and extreme temperatures (-50°C to 80°C).
-
- Fire Performance: Fire-rated ACP (e.g., B1 or A2 grade) limits flame spread and smoke production.
-
- Sound Insulation: The core dampens sound, providing moderate acoustic benefits.
-
- Ease of Fabrication: Can be cut, bent, or shaped with standard tools for complex designs.
ACP is widely used in:
-
- Exterior Cladding: Curtain walls and building facades for modern skyscrapers.
-
- Interior Decoration: Wall panels, ceilings, and partitions in offices or homes.
-
- Signage: Billboards and shopfront displays due to its smooth finish and color variety.
- Industrial Use: Protective covers or insulation in factories.
