Paint 101 for Beautifying ACP Sheets

Aluminium Composite Panels boast an array of modern hues and patterns to suit all of your architectural needs. Brightly coloured, glossy or matte –  there is a choice for every requirement. Sandwich panels of Aluminium are made of a core, and two Aluminium skins pasted on each side of the ACP sheet. The top coat of Aludecor ACP sheets is painted using the Double Coat Double Bake method that ensures zero crack risks. We are, in fact, the first Indian ACP brand to have introduced this particular coil coating method in the country. Pioneering such a feat, in fact, deepened our commitment to the perfection of aesthetics for our ACP sheets.

Aludecor ACP sheets are painted using world-class paints from PPG, Beckers, Nippon, and Akzo Nobel and are sourced within India. Our paints consist of Pigment, Binder (Resin) and Solvent. Aludecor ACP sheets are painted using both organic and inorganic paints. While our organic pigments are high on gloss and the “prettiness” factor, our inorganic pigments are more durable.

Next comes the Solvent which we use to dissolve polymers and adjust the paint viscosity with. It is volatile in nature, and thus it does not become a part of the finished product. Solvent’s primary purpose is to carry the non-volatile compounds.

At Aludecor, we use Binders such as PVDF (Poly Vinyl Diene Fluoride) and Lumiflon/FEVE (Fluoro Ethylene Vinyl Ether). Binders show excellent weathering resistance qualities, UV light resistance, high thermal and chemical resistance and adequate moisture and fungus resistance.

PVDF and FEVE both retain their gloss and colour exceptionally well as it meets the performance requirements of AAMA 2605.

Paint Viscocity Test in our lab

At Aludecor, we use stringent quality check procedures that ensure perfect aesthetics for all of our ACP sheets. We have pioneered the Double Coat Double Bake coil coating technology in India in 2006, and since then we have been a game-changer in the Indian ACP Manufacturing scenario. The Double Coat Double Bake method has minimal to zero environmental impact, and all of our ACPs are painted with 100% Lead-free paints. Besides, in the Double Coat Double Bake technology, the paint adherence is better – the primer and the top coat of the ACP sheet adhere firmly with each other in this method! We also use steel roll applicators that guarantee even coating and better paint compaction.
