The CMD of Aludecor, Ashok Kumar Bhaiya went live on Facebook on 23 July to commemorate the company’s foundation day and announced the launch of India’s first A2 grade fire retardant metal composite panel. A2 is the highest available grade of fire-retardant MCP in the world. It is almost fireproof, owing to its 90% inorganic mineral content. Firewall resists fire, however, Firewall A2 completely stops it from spreading.
The A2 classification of the fire-retardant MCP is of huge significance for 15m or higher buildings. It can effectively protect buildings from fire casualty as it releases a negligible amount of heat and doesn’t contribute to flame spread at all. No toxic gases or smoke and flaming droplets are produced. Speaking on the ‘Ask the Leader’ live programme on Facebook,
Mr. Bhaiya said, ‘High usage of Aludecor’s A2 grade FR MCP in a building means negligible damage to property, hassle-free evacuation, and zero chance of casualty.’
Aludecor is the first Indian brand to indigenously develop and manufacture this A2 fireproof* (it has fireproof properties close to metals) MCP. Aludecor Firewall A2 is made especially for the high-rises beyond 15m and is a much better and safer material compared to other fire-retardant MCPs.
Aludecor Firewall A2 features:
- Negligible heat release
- Zero contribution to the flame spread
- Zero smoke
- Zero flaming droplets
Aludecor Firewall A2 is highly recommended for structures in which the best possible fire safety is called for:
- High-rises
- Industrial buildings
- Public buildings
- Airports
- Hospitals
- Hotels
- Tunnels and underground stations, etc.
Aludecor is the first, Indian origin, company to have received the Factory Production Control certificate (FPC) from Exova Warringtonfire of the UK, the premier testing institute in the world.
Talking to Rekha Sarda, AVP – HR & Communication of the company, the CMD discussed various other topics:
Besides stating the vision of becoming “the global innovative architectural products manufacturing company” he also mentioned that Aludecor will definitely emerge as a nickname for MCP in India in the near future. The company’s growth story in India is no less than a dream run so far. Bhaiya proudly stated that “it is the quality of our products and the culture of innovation in the organization, be it in the product finishes or technology, that differentiates us from others.”
A company that produces out and out made-in-India products, Aludecor has complete control over quality. The in-house facility for manufacturing and testing the fire retardant products have made Aludecor the most trusted Metal Composite Panel manufacturer in India.
Aludecor’s glorious journey of 14 years has reaped the benefits of innovation, coming up with the widest range of unique MCP products. The company has also introduced Aludecor Systems, a revolutionary fixing technology for MCP sheets.
‘We expect, 5 years down the line, the product will only grow in demand exponentially. More and more international architectural firms will set shop in our country. This will increase the standard of the facades, signage, etc., and MCP will be used more and more to its extraordinary potential, said Bhaiya.
With an inspiring message of “aim higher and dare to dream” the live session was wrapped up. Apart from this, a Go-to-Market activity was organised by Team Aludecor to thank and appreciate the Channel Partners of the company who’s been outstanding support throughout its journey.
