Aluminum composite panel (ACP), also known as aluminum composite material (ACM), is a flat panel consisting of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core, usually made of polyethylene or fire-resistant mineral-filled core material. The aluminum sheets are coated with a high-quality paint finish or a thin layer of PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) or PE (Polyethylene) coating to protect the surface and improve its durability.
ACP is commonly used as cladding for buildings, particularly in exterior and interior applications due to its lightweight, durability, and fire-resistant properties. It is also used in signage, transportation, and other industries where a lightweight yet strong material is needed.
One of the advantages of ACP is its versatility in terms of design and color. It can be manufactured in a wide range of colors, finishes, and textures, and can be cut and bent into various shapes and sizes. This makes it a popular choice for architects and designers who want to create a unique and visually appealing building façade.
