THE FIRST ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL TO OFFER TRUE EASE OF FABRICATION IN FIRE RATED MATERIAL

New ALPOLIC/fr® offers the same flatness, rigidity, workability, formability and quality features of standard ALPOLIC/fr  ALPOLIC/fr® is curvable to a 6'' radius and can be welded just like standard ALPOLIC® to form complex shapes. In addition, ALPOLIC/fr® is available in the same full pallet of bright, clean colors and gloss range as standard ALPOLIC® and in sizes up to 62" wide and lengths greater than 20'.
