1. What's ACP?

Aluminum compositepanel, abbreviated as ACP , It’s popular called in asia , the Mid East .( In the South & North Americas , it’s popular called ACM - Aluminum Composite Materials ; In the Africa , EU country popular called Alucobond directly ) .  The ACP comprises a polyethylene core or FR core between two aluminum skin, the front surface is coated with Polyester (PE) or PVDF paints. Because of its colorful design and easy processing, it has been a popular material for the facade decoration and advertising use.

2. Where can we use the ACP and What's recommend thickness?

The ACP panels are mostly used in three aspects:Curtain wall Cladding ( exterior wall decoration ) andAdvertising, Interior wall decoration. Used in different aspects, the specifications ofACP building material also are different.

ACP panels for building curtain wall cladding (Exterior wall decoration ):

The minimum thickness of the upper and lower aluminumskinis 0.50mm, and the totalpanelthickness is not less than 4mm. The material of aluminum should meet the requirements of GB/T3880. Generally, aluminum alloy sheets of 3003, 5005 series should be used. The materials’ coating should be coated with fluorocarbon (PVDF Kynar ) , and request fire rated core materials .This type called :  FR PVDF ACM Panels .

ACP panels for exteriorsignage board andAdvertising - printing

Due to various superiority of the Aluminum composite material, such as light weight, easy on processing and colorful design, it has become one most applicable and popular material for the advertising use, like signage, digital UV printing, sign board, Auto 4S shop, shop front decoration, display fabrication and so on. The upper and lower aluminumskin are made of rust-proof aluminum with a thickness of not less than 0.20mm, and the total thickness should be3mm, 4mm. The coating is a polyester (PE )coating.

4. Compare with other building materials, whyALUSIGNPANEL ACP panels are the most popular?

ALUSIGNPANEL ACP Panels VSAluminum veneer

(1)Aluminum veneer

Aluminum veneers have long been used in curtain wall decoration, but they are gradually declining.The reason is that the high unit price of the aluminum veneer is difficult to control the cost and is easy to cause waste; Not easy processing and most of the designs need finishing on the factory , so not good for transport , will take high transport charges .  

(2)ACP panels

The middle core layer of acm sheet is PE material, compounded by two layers of aluminum up and down, with various styles, strong plasticity, easy processing, and not easy to be deformed. It also has fireproof grade, and its cost is lower than that of aluminum veneers. It’s good building materials for the designers .

ALUSIGNPANEL ACP PanelsVS ceramic tile

(1)Ceramic tile

When speakof empty drum and falling of the tiles, most people have experienced. Apart from new homes, renovation of a house for a year or two, suddenly appeared empty walls, tiles off, not only will damage the furniture, bring reworking problems, but also pose a great threat to the personal safety of the family. And the decorative effect of the tiles is also monotonous. 

(2)Acp panels

ALUSIGNPANELfluorocarbonACM Panels is smooth , bright and colorful, with good decoration effect. At the same time, it has characteristics of strong plasticity, impact resistance, strong shock resistance.

Acp material VS coating

(1)coating

Brush fire retardant coating is a good choice today, but most of the external wall paint has strong ordor, volatile toxic gases, while the external wall just dazzling for a short period after brushing, but it’s not waterproof and resistant to moisture, in a few years, the outer wall began to have large flake decoloring, causing mottled walls.

(2)Acp material

ALUSIGNPANELart fluorocarbon aluminum compositematerials adopts FEVE fluorocarbon creatively for its surface, and its UV resistance and weather resistance are better than traditional curtain wall aluminum-plastic compositematerials to meet the requirements of high-grade weather resistance grades.
