PRODUCT PROPERTIESALPOLIC® is an aluminum composite material (ACM) that is produced by bonding two thin sheets of aluminum on either side of an extruded thermoplastic core. The aluminum (other metals available) surfaces have been prefinished and coil-coated in a variety of paint finishes before bonding. ALPOLIC® offers the rigidity of heavy-gauge sheet metal in a lightweight aluminum-faced composite material. It also features such attributes as superior flatness, vibration dampening, durability and ease of maintenance.
