 INTRODUCTION
Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) is a general term for panels constructed
from two sheets of aluminium bonded to a core.

Also known as Sandwich panel, it is a structure made of three layers:

▪ Low density core inserted in between two relatively thin skin layers.

▪ This sandwich setup allows to achieve excellent mechanical performance at minimal

weight.

▪ The very high rigidity of a sandwich panel is achieved thanks to interaction of its
components under flexural load applied to the panel.

▪ Core takes the shear loads and creates a distance between the skins which take the
in-plane stresses, one skin in tension, the other in compression.
CLASSIFICATION
PROPERTIES OF ACP
▪ Aesthetically pleasing: Other means of making a
structure cannot deliver the result as Aluminum
Composite Panel does.

▪ Good Insulation Material: Thermal and acoustical

▪ Dead weight of the Composite material is very
low.
▪ Is resistant to heat up to a temperature as high
as of 113 degree Celsius after which it starts
deforming in the first place and then fails.
▪ Aluminum can be painted in any kind of color,
and ACPs are produced in a wide range of
metallic and non-metallic colors as well as
patterns that imitate other materials, such
aswood or marble.
ADVANTAGES
Adding true Easily and quickly
beauty to a An economical processed Long
structure option lasting durability

Excellent Outstanding Improved sound

weather thermal comfort dampening
resistance

Least
maintenance
required
 INSTALLATION OF ACP
▪ Aluminium
composite panel
are installed on
aluminium by rivet
or screw Or
Cutting.
Panel can be cut
by suitable kinds of
saws and lathes.
 SALIENT FEATURES OF ACP
• Very light reducing the dead weight of the building and frame loading.
• Resistant to extremes of weather exposure and temperature.
• Excellent UV characteristics retaining colour after long exposure.
• High impact resistance
• 100% maintenance free
• Good sound insulation.
•World renowned 3M tape is used for fixing the ACP to the aluminium frame.
• Anti-Fungal protection
• Lightweight, reducing frame loading and installation costs
• Capable of being shaped and formed without loss of surface integrity
• High strength and rigidity - outstanding deflection and bending strength

Aluminium can be painted in any kind of colour, and ACPs are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-
metallic colours as well as patterns that imitate other materials, such as wood or marble. ACPs are frequently
used for external cladding or facades of buildings, insulation & signage
