Non Combustible Aluminium Composite Panels
ACROSS THE WORLD, ALUCOBOND® A2 is the only non-combustible aluminum composite panel used in architecture. Due to its non-combustible core and Class A fire rating, this fantastic product meets stringent fire regulations and hugely increases the possibilities when it comes to creative building design. It is highly preferred for wall cladding and other facade applications where both safety and aesthetics are crucial. As with all ALUCOBOND panels, ALUCOBOND® A2 allows for simple processing, is impact-resistant, break-proof, and weatherproof, and above all, non-combustible.
ALUCOBOND® A2 perfectly adapts to the contours of the building – forming complex, flowing elements. It is the combination of formability, flatness, stability, and weather resistance that characterizes this material. Due to its composite structure, ALUCOBOND® A2 can take on many different shapes. Think of it as a separate skin wrapping the building’s structure. Its perfect formability does not affect its stability and flatness; the high rigidity of the panel remains. The excellent fire resistance rating of materials like ALUCOBOND® A2 makes it an unmatched choice for modern, safe architectural solutions.
The composite structure of ALUCOBOND® A2 means it has an impressive strength to weight ratio, no matter if it is a large panel size. Despite its low weight – which makes ALUCOBOND® A2 easy to transport and handle – its rigidity helps maintain its shape and flatness, even when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
Comparison of thickness and weight of panels with equal rigidity
Over decades of use in a rear-ventilated cladding system, ALUCOBOND® A2 protects a building from weathering and the harmful effects of industrial and environmental pollution. It also acts as a barrier against solar radiation; the ventilated space between the ALUCOBOND® A2 panels and the wall or the thermal insulation reduces heat transmission. ALUCOBOND® A2 also protects the wall of a building from high and rapid temperature changes; moisture can pass through the
wall, yet the building structure remains dry.
During the lifecycle of ALUCOBOND® A2 aluminium composite panels, no substances containing CFC are set free at any time. The core material does not contain any nitrogen, chlorine, or sulfur – therefore, it is the perfect choice for projects that require environmentally friendly materials, including fire-resistant ceiling materials for enhanced safety.
ALUCOBOND® A2 is fully recyclable. Both the core material and the aluminium cover sheets can be used in the production of new material.
