ALUCOBOND® perfectly adapts to a building’s contours, flowing elements. It is the combination of formability, flatness, stability and weather resistance that characterizes this material. Due to its composite structure, ALUCOBOND® can take on many different shapes. Though both stable and flat ALUCOBOND® can be perfectly formed without any loss to its rigidity.
Lightness / Rigidity
The composite structure of ALUCOBOND® results in an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, even when comparing large panel sizes. Despite its low weight, which makes ALUCOBOND® easy to transport and handle in the factory and on site, its rigidity and high strength make the panels keep their shape and remain flat, even when exposed to extreme temperature changes.

Sustainability
Environment, Safety and Quality
Today 3A Composites is recognized worldwide as one of the leading companies in the field of sustainability – in fact not only within its own branch but also among other diversified producers and raw material processing companies throughout the world. 3A Composites’s commitment to sustainability enables the company to make decisions that create the highest economic, social and ecological value, by taking the requirements of all the relevant groups into consideration.
The company commits to continuous self improvement programs for environmental protection, many of which exceed government regulations. 3A Composites continues to serve as a global leader in this field.
During the life cycle of ALUCOBOND® composite panels, no substances containing CFC are set free at any time. The core material does not contain any nitrogen, chlorine or sulphur. Therefore, selecting ALUCOBOND® for projects which require environmental-friendly materials is literally a natural choice.

Life Cycle |
Advantages |
|
|
|
During decades of use in a rear-ventilated cladding system,ALUCOBOND® protects the building from weathering and the harmful effects caused by industrial and environmental pollution. |
|
|
An external cladding system using ALUCOBOND® acts as a barrier against solar radiation. The ventilated space between the ALUCOBOND® panels and the wall or the thermal insulation reduces the heat transmission. |
|
|
|
The rear-ventilated cladding system using ALUCOBOND®, protects the wall of the building from high and rapid temperature changes. Moisture can pass through the wall. The building structure keeps dry. |

Recycling
ALUCOBOND® is fully recyclable, i.e. both the core material and the aluminium cover sheets are recycled and can be used in the production of new material.
Design and structural benefits
- ALUCOBOND® panels have an impressive strength-to-weight ratio
- Simple tolerance compensation
- Insulation material thickness is easy to vary
- All energy-related building standards can be easily attained
- Effective protection from rain and condensation
- Protects against vandalism (graffiti, mechanical loading)
Energy efficiency
- Protects building interior from heating in the summer, protects against cooling and loss of heat in the winter
- A pleasant room climate ensures comfort
- Very good vapour diffusion properties (no formation of condensation)
Sustainability/efficiency
- Rear-ventilated facade systems are not very prone to damage
- Long facade service life
- Low service life costs as very little maintenance and repair work is needed
- Easy to disassemble
- Can be reused and recycled
Aesthetics
- Combination of materials, surfaces, colours, shapes, joins
- Huge variety of colours and surfaces
- Influences the architectonic character of a building as the cladding is either
attached in a visible or concealed manner - 3D structuring of the facade
