When creating facades, architects must consider a slew of factors, like building rules, sustainability, and dynamic design objectives. They must also guarantee that the facades are simple to construct, install, maintain and help to keep buildings on budget. Aluminium Composite Panels provide a way for architects to fulfil concepts that were previously difficult or unattainable.
Making of ACP Sheets
ACP sheets are produced by attaching two thin painted or natural aluminium sheets on either side of the thermoplastic core. The core creates a lighter-weight, easier-to-fabricate, flat, and long-lasting sheet. The material in the core is either regular polyethylene or a mineral-filled fire-retardant core. The ACP Sheets are available in 3mm, 4mm, or 6mm thicknesses. Aludecor’s infrastructure is perhaps the greatest in the country. It is India’s only firm that produces the mineral core needed to make fire-resistant ACP sheets in-house. With its own Coil Coating Line in India,Aludecor also pioneered the Double Coat Double Bake Line, the ideal coil coating technique. Due to the use of high-quality resins and original raw materials procured from the world’s finest suppliers such as Hindalco, Dupont, PPG, and others, Aludecor ACP panels offer the highest gloss retention.
ACP Sheets and Long-term Sustainability
Most ACP panels have a high recycled content, which might help you get LEED points in the innovation. Most architectural stock colours reflect heat rather than absorb radiant energy, resulting in lower energy use.Aludecor uses Lead-free paints on their ACP sheets. This not only protects you and your family from the hazards of lead, but it also prevents the emission of hazardous VOC chemicals into the atmosphere. Aludecor uses Kynar 500/ Heyner 5000 PVDF resin in a 70:30 PVDF/Acrylic Resin ratio. Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a UV-resistant resin applied to paintings to make them last longer.

Flexible finishes
Architects have an ample choice of coatings, including solids, metallic, vintage, sand, timber, matte, and more. Custom-color matching can create virtually any hue imaginable if a conventional finish doesn’t precisely reflect the architect’s purpose. Other natural metals, such as copper and zinc, can be utilized instead of painted aluminium skins. These corrosion-resistant skins are virtually indistinguishable from solid sheets of the same metals when placed on a structure. Over time, copper and zinc develop a natural patina that looks aesthetically beautiful.Aludecor’s Zinc Composite Panelblends the natural beauty of zinc with outstanding flatness, durability, simplicity of manufacture, and cost-effectiveness. With all of the advantages of metal composite panels, they are well suited to traditional and contemporary designs. Titanium zinc alloy absorbs carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and forms a natural zinc carbonate patina that protects the surface while also removing scratches and flaws over time.Aludecor Copper Composite Panelhas a new and fresh copper colour right after cladding. The colour of the facade changes dynamically when it is exposed to weathering, rain, sunlight, and humidity in a natural process. Spectacular patina patches appear on the panel’s surface after years of oxidation. The vibrant patina patches give the structure a dynamic appearance while also preserving the facade from corrosion. The location, latitude, and longitude of the building will impact the patina formation process. The ACP, ZCP and CCP are durable, flexible, and environmentally friendly and are new-age construction materials for architects and budding architects.
ACP Sheets are versatile and easy to produce, allowing you to build an almost limitless number of complicated forms and shapes. Aluminium Composite Panels with a thermoplastic core are lower in weight while maintaining their strength. ACP panels are meant to be cost-effective and easy to install and sturdy, vibration-damping, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-maintain. They also won’t deform owing to differential expansion and contraction in changing weather conditions.
Since their inception half a century ago, manufacturers have continued to develop with ACP Panels. The advancement in the building materials allowed realistic patterns of sand or timber to give the visual appeal of nature without the weight, care, or expense constraints of natural materials. The brightness and smoothness of the natural metal may be seen through subtle colours in pigmented zinc and coloured anodized aluminium. Precision colour matching using sophisticated fluoropolymer paints ensures that you get the colour you desire with a 10-years warranty. Fabricators are pushing the limits, producing complicated shapes to answer new difficulties in acoustic design and harsh weather. It is only possible because of ACP sheets, as they are a flexible, durable, and cost-effective option.
Aludecor has long been the unchallenged leader in the production and distribution of ACP sheets. For over a decade, Aludecor has been the most trusted partner in providing ACP and revolutionary metal composite panels to many industry sectors, including residential and commercial construction.
