Composite Materials Division
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.
EASE OF FABRICATIONALPOLIC® requires no special tools for fabrication, ordinary woodworking and metal working tools are all that are needed. Fabrication techniques are easily accom-plished such as cutting, grooving, punching, drilling, bending, rolling, and many other specialized techniques.
PAINT SYSTEMS• ALPOLIC® offers you both polyester and fluorocarbon (FEVE) finishes. • FEVE is a high performance, second generation fluorocarbon.• Its finish offers bright, vibrant colors, multiple gloss levels and other distinct advantages over (PVDF) KYNAR®-based finishes.• Its finish includes superior abrasion characteristics and field painting attributes. (Consult Customer Service)• 2 color coil-coat panels available.
MANUFACTURING FLEXIBILITYALPOLIC® comes in a variety of thicknesses: 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mmTwo standard widths:................50” 62”Semi-standard widths:..............Consult Customer ServiceCustom widths:.........................to 62”
