What Is ACP Cladding
ACP Cladding, also known as Aluminum Composite Panel Cladding, is an exterior wall decoration material used in the construction industry. It consists of two layers of aluminum sheets with a polyethylene plastic composite layer in between. This composite panel structure gives ACP Cladding its characteristics of being lightweight, high strength, corrosion-resistant, easy to install, and maintain.
ACP Cladding is widely used in the field of exterior wall decoration in buildings. It provides a modern appearance and offers good thermal insulation and fire resistance properties. The outer surface of ACP Cladding is typically treated with coatings such as fluorocarbon (PVDF), allowing for a variety of color and surface finishes to meet the design requirements of the building.
ACP Cladding systems ACP panels are typically 4mm to 6mm thick. The core material is generally 3mm to 5mm thick with the aluminium sheets each at 0.5mm thick.
Material Structure:
- Front Surface: Aluminum alloy sheet coated with fluorocarbon resin (PVDF) and polyester resin (PE) paint.Facade Aluminium Composite Panel
- Core Material: Non-toxic polyethylene.
- Back Surface: Aluminum alloy sheet coated with polyester resin paint.
- Surface Smoothness: Treated with PVDF and PE resin roller-coating paint.
- Surface Coating Thickness: 30 micrometers.
Popular 5 types of ACP cladding
1. PVDF Coated ACP Cladding: This is a high-end ACP cladding where the surface coating utilizes PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) resin, providing excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance. It can withstand UV radiation and chemical exposure.
2. Nano Self-Cleaning ACP Cladding: This is a type of ACP cladding with self-cleaning functionality. The surface coating incorporates nanotechnology, enabling it to have a self-cleaning effect by reducing the adherence of pollutants and maintaining a clean appearance.
3. Fire-Retardant ACP Cladding: This is a fire-resistant type of ACP cladding. It incorporates fire-retardant additives or uses fire-resistant minerals as the core material to enhance its fire resistance. It can slow down the spread of fire and meet the fire safety requirements of buildings.
4. Brushed ACP Cladding: This is a type of ACP cladding that undergoes a brushing process, resulting in a unique texture and metallic appearance. It is suitable for creating a modern and stylish exterior look.
5.Wooden Finish ACP Cladding: This is a type of ACP cladding that imitates the appearance of wood grain. The surface coating is designed to simulate the texture and appearance of wood while retaining the advantages of aluminum composite panels.
These are some of the common types of ACP cladding. There are also various other options available in the market. It’s important to choose the appropriate type based on specific requirements, design preferences, and functional needs. When selecting and using ACP cladding,
