Processing method General notes
ALPOLIC™/fr and ALPOLIC™ A2 ( hereafter, ALPOLIC™) can be processed with regular machines and tools for aluminum and wood. We can cut
ALPOLIC™ panels with a circular saw, fold them after grooving and curve them with a 3-roll bender. In order to join aluminum extrusions on
ALPOLIC™ panels, we can choose a suitable joining method from several alternatives. Coating direction
Panel A
In Metallic Colors, Sparkling Colors, Prismatic Colors and NaturArt Series ( Stone, Timber,
CUTTING Metal, and Abstract ), slight color differences will be noticeable if the panels are installed in
different directions ( like Panel A and B in the diagram). Install panels in the same direction
ALPOLIC™ can be cut with various types of circular saws such as table saws, hand circular saws

ALPOLIC IS AN ALUMINUM COMPOSITE MATERIAL (ACM) THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY USED FOR
®
BUILDING PROJECTS WORLDWIDE FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES. IN THE U.S., ALPOLIC HAS
®
BEEN IN USE SINCE THE EARLY 1980S AND HAS BEEN PRODUCED DOMESTICALLY SINCE 1992.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND RIGID WITH A VARIETY OF DURABLE FINISHES, ALPOLIC IS A MATERIAL OF

®
CHOICE FOR BUILDING CLADDINGS, RETAIL FACADES AND CORPORATE IDENTITY SIGNS. IN
ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL ALPOLIC ACM, THE CURRENT ALPOLIC PRODUCT LINEUP INCLUDES
®
ALPOLIC /FR, WITH EXCELLENT FIRE-SAFETY QUALITIES, AND METAL COMPOSITE MATERIALS (MCM)
®
SUCH AS COPPER, STAINLESS STEEL AND TITANIUM.
environmental responsibility
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
for everything from raw materials to packing waste to office supplies.
ALPOLIC production is ISO 9001-2000 certified. Our production is periodically audited by third parties for
®
consecutive qualification.

sustainability
Here are some of the reasons why ALPOLIC is an environmentally friendly building material.
®
1. High Panel Strength Using Less Aluminum
ALPOLIC is often used as an alternative to solid aluminum panels because it

®
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

2. Durable and Innovative Finishes
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).
3. Use of Recycled Content as Raw Material
ALPOLIC products are manufactured using recycled materials. This may contribute to LEED Credits MR 4.1 and 4.2.
®
(See next section for more details).
4. Heat Transmission Effect
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
® ®
materials are required.

leed
We have participated in the review and approval process for the LEED 2.2 standard for new construction.
The use of ALPOLIC products may contribute to the following credits:

®
1. Highly Durable or Innovative Finishes: LEED Credits ID 1.1 – 1.4
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.
Figure 2: Comparison of durability between high-performance polyester and

Lumiflon-based fluoropolymer coatings
new 3 years new 3 years 10 years
High-performance polyester coating Lumiflon-based fluoropolymer coating
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,
®
Support/Downloads/LEED Statement).
2. Recycled Content: LEED Credit MR 4.1 and 4.2
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.

While the exact percentage of recycled content can vary from coil to coil, the typical values of 3105 are as follows:
Post-consumer recycled content 12.5%
Pre-consumer recycled content 64.2%
Virgin metal content 23.3%
In addition, ALPOLIC is extremely rigid, which enables it to achieve the same panel strength as solid aluminum using only
®
one third to one fourth the amount of aluminum. (See Fig.1 and Table 1). For details, visit www.alpolic-northamerica.com,

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.
ALPOLIC/fr, ALPOLIC/fr LT, ALPOLIC, AL-LEADER

The topside of these materials is a coating with paint materials. Therefore, the cleaner shall suit to
these coatings.
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.
a. Dilute a detergent or a cleaner to 1-5% with water.

b. Apply the solution and spread on ALPOLIC® surface with soft rags or sponges. Wait for 1
minute, then the foam will blacken.
c. Dry the solution with a squeegee and wipe the remaining solution with wet cloth containing
clean water.
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.
TCM, SCM, ZCM

TCM and SCM show an excellent corrosion resistance, protected by an inactive layer. But stain,
caused with various factors, must be removed with suitable cleaners. Refer to technical manual of
each material. In ZCM, the initial chemical conversion layer is gradually replaced with natural zinc
carbonate layer that shows good weathering. Therefore, we do not need special cleaning, but the
chemical substance, adhering and accumulating on the surface, must be removed with water rinse.
Refer to technical manual of ZCM.
