Aluminium Composite Panel
What is aluminium composite panel?
Aluminium sandwich panel also called aluminium composite panel (ACP) or aluminium plastic composite panel is a type of metal composite panel consisting of two layers of aluminium sheets with a filler material sandwiched in between.
The filler material can be polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), mineral wool etc.
It is commonly used for building exterior cladding, interior decorative, ceilings, billbond and so on.
Aluminium composite panel specification:
Standard size: 1220x2440mm
Width:1000,1250,1500,1570mm
Length: customized(max length can be 6000mm )
Panel Thickness: 2mm,3mm,4mm,5mm,6mm

What is the fire rating of aluminium composite panel?
Fire-resistant aluminum composite panel (fireproof ACP) is a widely recognized construction material in the building industry. Its structure is similar to that of regular aluminum composite panels, consisting of two aluminum sheets bonded together with a polyethylene core at high temperatures. What sets fire-resistant aluminum composite panels apart from traditional ones is that their core material is composed of fire-resistant or non-combustible mineral substances.
Fire-resistant aluminum composite panels are extensively used in the construction industry due to their outstanding properties, including being lightweight, high-strength, durable, weather-resistant, and fire-resistant. They are commonly employed for exterior wall cladding decoration in various types of buildings, such as commercial, residential, educational, and healthcare facilities.
Aluminum composite panels can be classified based on their fire resistance into B1, A2, and A1 grades:
B1 Grade: Flame-retardant building material: Flame-retardant materials exhibit good fire resistance. They are less likely to ignite in the presence of an open flame or under high temperatures, and they do not easily spread, with combustion immediately stopping once the heat source is removed.
A2 Grade: Non-combustible material: A2-grade materials do not ignite when exposed to an open flame or high temperatures, while ensuring that smoke emissions remain within acceptable limits under these conditions. For detailed information, please contact us to obtain testing reports.
A1 Grade: Superior fire resistance: This is a new product developed by Alcadex to meet the latest fire safety requirements for aluminum composite panels. It differs from traditional fire-resistant aluminum composite panels in the core material used. The fire-resistant core material in A1-grade panels is magnesium oxide boards (MGO), which is currently a solution that easily meets A1 testing requirements for fire-resistant aluminum composite panels. Alcadex is one of the few manufacturers in the market that can provide fire-resistant aluminum composite panels that meet the A1 testing standard.
What is the difference between ACP and ACM?
ACP and ACM are often used interchangeably, both referring to aluminum composite material. ACM is an short call for aluminum composite material, which is essentially the same as aluminum composite panel.
ACM is a popular choice for wall cladding in building construction. It comprises two layers of aluminum sheets sandwiching a polyethylene plastic core, which are bonded together at high temperatures. This material offers numerous benefits, including its lightweight nature, resistance to corrosion and water, and ease of fabrication.
ACM find widespread applications in various settings, such as exterior wall cladding for buildings, interior wall decoration, adornment of spaces like airports and subway stations, decoration of car showrooms, and the billboards.
