1. General
ALPOLIC®/fr is an aluminum composite material (ACM) with a non-combustible mineral-filled core,
used as an exterior and interior cladding and roof covering on new buildings and retrofit applications.
The material is manufactured by Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc., and furnished by approved dealers or
distributors.
Note: This summary of specification data is about ALPOLIC/fr. If you need specifications of
ALPOLIC composed of polyethylene core and mainly used for signage, contact local distributors or
our office.
2. Product composition
ALPOLIC/fr is composed of a non-combustible mineral-filled core sandwiched between two skins of
0.5mm thick aluminum alloy (3105-H14):
The surface is finished with a high-performance Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating as standard, and
the back is a wash coating or service coating. ALPOLIC/fr is available in four finishes: Solid Colors,
Metallic Colors, Sparkling Colors and Stone-Timber-Metal Series. In these finishes, Lumiflon-based
fluorocarbon paints are applied in manufacturer’s continuous coil coating lines.
The back of ALPOLIC/fr, which will face the structural wall or steel when it is installed as a cladding
panel, has a polyester-based wash coating or a service coating to protect it from possible corrosion
problems.
The surface is protected with a self-adhesive peel-off protective film consisting of two polyethylene
layers of white and black. According to weathering tests under normal outdoor conditions, the
protective film will withstand six months’ exposure without losing its original peel-off characteristic or
causing stains or other damages.

Like solid copper, ALPOLIC ™/fr CCM is perfect for architectural wall cladding screens, external claddings and roofs, especially when conventional building materials
applications and accent trim on buildings are insufficient.
Features The natural copper surface's ever-changing finish constantly evolves, adding richness and depth to any building's facade. ALPOLIC™/fr CCM offers the rigidity of heavy gauge sheet metal in a
lightweight copper-faced composite material. CCM also features such attributes as superior flatness, vibration dampening, durability and ease of maintenance
Features Zinc alloy skin: The topside skin is a real zinc alloy weathered with a chemical conversion process, which later takes on a distinctive gray appearance through natural weathering.
Long life: Protected by the surface layers, zinc alloy has a long life. The annual erosion rate is normally 1 to 7 microns (3 microns on average ), which indicates that 100 micron
(0.1 mm) thick zinc takes as long as 35 years to erode.

Features Zinc alloy skin: The topside skin is a real zinc alloy weathered with a chemical conversion process, which later takes on a distinctive gray appearance through natural weathering.
Long life: Protected by the surface layers, zinc alloy has a long life. The annual erosion rate is normally 1 to 7 microns (3 microns on average ), which indicates that 100 micron
(0.1 mm) thick zinc takes as long as 35 years to erode.

Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America, Inc. is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council. The company has a proud
history of actively supporting environmental initiatives, responsibility and stewardship. Accordingly, the raw materials
used in ALPOLIC products have been selected to maximize the use of recycled content. Production lines are designed
®
to be extremely energy efficient and to comply with all regulations relating to the environment.
Our production facilities incorporate many environmentally friendly procedures and equipment. For example, our coil
coating line uses a unique coating device that minimizes the amount of paint applied in order to eliminate waste and
improve the working environment. In addition, because ALPOLIC itself is recyclable, we have a recycling facility in the
®
plant to reuse scraps. These ALPOLIC scraps are treated at moderate conditions so that fumes do not adversely
®
affect the working environment. Further, we have introduced recycle or reuse policies throughout our production plant
ALPOLIC production is ISO 9001-2000 certified. Our production is periodically audited by third parties for

sustainability
Here are some of the reasons why ALPOLIC is an environmentally friendly building material.
®
Aluminum 0.5 mm
achieves equivalent rigidity using only one third to one fourth the amount of
Polyethylene or
aluminum. This principle holds true in ALPOLIC MCM products
®
Table 1: Comparison of rigidity between ALPOLIC products and solid metal sheets
®
ALPOLIC is finished with Lumiflon-based fluoropolymer paint as standard. This paint is known for its durability, featuring
®
long-lasting color and gloss. Colors with high solar reflectance are available that increase the energy efficiency of the
building and may contribute to LEED Credits ID 1.1 through 1.4. (See next section for more details).
ALPOLIC products are manufactured using recycled materials. This may contribute to LEED Credits MR 4.1 and 4.2.
®
When ALPOLIC products are used for building envelopes, an air pocket is formed between the structural wall and ALPOLIC
® ®
panels. This can increase the building’s thermal insulation. (See Table 2).
5. Fire Safety
ALPOLIC is a fire resistive material – especially ALPOLIC /fr, which can be used for applications where non-combustible

We have participated in the review and approval process for the LEED 2.2 standard for new construction.
ALPOLIC is finished with Lumiflon-based fluoropolymer paint as standard, a paint known for its durability. The long-lasting
®
color and gloss help reduce long-term maintenance costs and material consumption. In addition, the paint is applied using
a continuous coil coating process, which gives ALPOLIC a finish that is consistent as well as durable. In comparison with
®
a competing polyester coating that has reportedly been recently improved, Lumiflon-based fluoropolymer coating still
appears to be superior.
In addition, by selecting an appropriate finish, solar reflectance can be improved, which can increase the heat efficiency of
the building. Every color on our color charts include an LRV (light reference value) to assist in making an informed decision.
For these reasons, ALPOLIC will possibly contribute to LEED Credits ID 1.1 – 1.4. (For details, visit www.alpolic-northamerica.com,
®

Virgin aluminum requires a large amount of electricity for smelting. However, approximately 70% of virgin aluminum is
recovered and reused. This recycled aluminum requires only 5% of the electricity of virgin aluminum. We use aluminum alloy
3105 for ALPOLIC . This alloy contains high levels of recycled content.

Maintenance Method for ALPOLIC/fr
The cleaning method suitable for each material depends on the surface finish. The products
finished with coatings require some cleaning methods suitable for the coatings, and metal
composite materials like TCM, SCM and ZCM require a cleaning method for each surface metal. The
cleaning method is detailed in the technical manual of each material. The typical cleaning methods
are as follows.
1. General cleaning
Firstly, try water rinse using soft sponge with modest pressure to remove the stain. If the stain
remains after dry, then use neutral detergents or household cleaners diluted with water. Typical
cleaning procedures are as follows.
According to our test, dilute Magiclean is suitable for all finishes of ALPOLIC®. Magiclean is a
household detergent with pH 8 from Kao Corp. If you use other detergent, pre-test it in a small
area.
2. Stubborn stain
According to our test, alkali cleaners such as Sharpshooter and Windex are applicable to strong
stain, however some coatings of ALPOLIC® requires good rinsing with water afterward. It is
because no water rinsing may cause a color change in the future due to remaining alkali on the
coating.
Note:
Sharpshooter is a versatile cleaner from 3M (alkali, pH12), and Windex is a glass cleaner from
Johnson (alkali, pH11). As these are alkali solutions, prevent eye and skin contact. Follow
manufacturer's safety instructions.
If you use other strong cleaners or stain removers, pre-test in a small area. Do not use strong
organic solvents, such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone), MIBK (Methyl Iso Butyl Ketone), Triclene and
paint thinner. Do not use strong alkali, strong acid or abrasive cleaners. Use of these solvents and
cleaners may result in the paint becoming swollen or removed.
To prevent scratching the coated surface, make sure that cleaning sponges and rags are grit-free.
Avoid over cleaning or excessive rubbing.
