Characteristics
- Lightweight and high rigidity
Lightweight and rigid material enables weight saving. - Corrosion and weather resistance
The surface finish has excellent corrosion and weather resistance and the material is suitable for decorative use. - Finish quality
Consistent finish quality is secured by a continuous coil coating system. - Heat insulation, sound absorption, and vibration damping
A composition of the sandwiched structure provides less thermal conductivity, better sound absorption, and vibration damping properties. - Flatness
High rigidity derives superior flat panel. - Variety of finishes
Stone, timber, and natural metal look finishes are available. - Easy processing and fabrication
It is easy to cut, bend, and fasten with conventional machines and tools for processing and fabrication. - Fire safety
ACM with fire-retardant core (fr core) - Water-resistance
Superior water or moisture resistance to steel or wood - Easy and economical maintenance
Clean surface can last with simple cleaning and it will reduce running costs for the maintenance. - Impact resistance
It is hard to break under impact load comparing with other board or sheet materials e.g. made of calcium silicate, cement, plaster and plastic. - Recyclability
ALPOLIC is a recyclable material.
