WHAT IS AN ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL (ACM)?

ACM is produced when you bond two thin sheets of aluminum on either side of an exstruded thermoplastic core. The exposed surfaces are coil coated with a variety of finishes.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING ALPOLIC IN YOUR DESIGN PROJECT?

1. Product Properties

ALPOLIC® is a unique type of ACM that offers the rigidity of heavy gauge steel with the inherent aluminum characteristics of being lightweight and flexible. This rigidity is further complimented by other product attributes of superior flatness, vibration damping, durability and easy maintenance.

2.  Ease of Fabrication

ALPOLIC® requires no special tools, ordinary woodworking and metal working tools are all that are needed. The following fabrication techniques can be easily accomplished... cutting, grooving, punching, drilling, bending and curving. ALPOLIC® can be used with numerous attachment methods (Please consult factory for detailed fabrication manual).

3.  Paint System

ALPOLIC® is offered in polyester or its premium grade fluorocarbon finish PPG MEGAFLON®. PPG MEGAFLON® is a second generation fluorocarbon coating that has distinct advantages over the industry standard of KYNAR®.
