| Use advice for data set | ALPOLIC™ composite panels are ideal for architectural projects, they can be easily processed into complex shapes and are easy to install. At the same time, they offer excellent flatness, durability, stability, vibration damping and ease of maintenance. This makes them suitable for curtain walls, rainscreen systems and other architectural cladding applications. ALPOLIC™ can be machined with standard woodworking or metalworking tools without the need for special tools. Cutting, grooving, punching, drilling, bending, rolling and many other manufacturing techniques can be easily performed to create an almost unlimited variety of complex shapes and forms. |

| Technological representativeness | |
| Technology description including background system | ALPOLIC™ Composites are thin panels consisting of two thin aluminium plates (in this case at least 85 % by weight of recycled aluminum) on both sides and a thermoplastic or mineral-filled, fire-retardant core. The already painted aluminium surfaces are provided with an adhesive film and subsequently laminated with the core material. ALPOLIC ™ products offer a huge range of surface types, colours and gloss levels for buildings. They are coated with robust and stable fluoropolymer paint to keep surfaces fresh after decades of exposure to the elements. At the same time, ALPOLIC ™ composite panels offer the rigidity of heavy sheet metal in a lightweight composite material. ALPOLIC™ Aluminium Composites (ACM) are manufactured in Wiesbaden, Germany. The product is manufactured by continuously bonding two aluminium coils on either side of an extruded thermoplastic or mineral-filled fire-retardant thermoplastic core. The aluminium surfaces have been pre-finished and coil-coated in various paint finishes before bonding (Extrusion of the thermoplastic core, lamination with the aluminum coils, transport within the plant, A3). |
