ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE

PANEL
(ACP)
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.
HISTORY OF ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE
PANELS-
 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1969, ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE PANELS WERE INTRODUCED BY THE
COMPANY ALUSINGEN AS A JOINT INVENTION WITH BASF.

 ALUSINGEN WAS BOUGHT BY ALUSUISSE WHICH WAS THEN ACQUIRED BY THE GIANT
MULTINATIONAL COMPANY ALCAN IN 2000 ( TODAY RIO TINTO).

 ALUSINGEN PATENTED THE PROCESS OF ALUCOBOND FOR 20 YRS WHICH WAS BETWEEN 1971 AND
1991.

 THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE PRODUCT BECOME MORE COMMERCIALIZED AS WELL AS
ECONOMICALLY MORE EFFICIENT.

 ALONG WITH CURTAIN WALL AND GLASS ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE PANEL MATERIALS HAVE
DOMINATED THE FACADE INDUSTRY AND NOW THERE ARE MANY MODERN CITIES WHICH ARE
ENTIRELY BUILT WITH ONLY AND ONLY THESE MATERIALS.
PROPERTIES OF ACP-
 AESTHETICALLY PLEASING : OTHER MEANS OF MAKING A
STRUCTURE CANNOT DELIVER THE RESULT AS ALUMINIUM
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.

 ALUMINIUM CAN BE PAINTED IN ANY KIND OF COLOUR, AND ACPS

ARE PRODUCED IN A WIDE RANGE OF METALLIC AND NON-
METALLIC COLOUR AS WELL AS PATTERNS THAT IMITATE OTHER
MATERIALS, SUCH AS WOOD OR MARBLE.
ACP AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL-
 ACP IS MAINLY USED FOR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL
ARCHITECTURAL CLADDING OR PARTITIONS.

EXAMPLE:

FALSE CEILINGS, SIGN TRAYS, INDIVIDUAL LOGOS, COLUMN

CLADDING, COUNTER, PARTITIONS, FACADE OF THE BUILDING.
ACP USED ON THE FACADE

ACP USED IN KITCHEN INTERIOR AMITY UNIVERSITY, JAIPUR ACP USED IN FALSE CEILINGS
ADVANTAGES-
 ADDING TRUE BEAUTY TO A STRUCTURE.

 AN ECONOMICAL OPTION.

 EASILY AND QUICKLY PROCESSED LONG LASTING DURABILITY.

 EXCELLENT WEATHER RESISTANCE.

 OUTSTANDING THERMAL COMFORT.

 IMPROVED SOUND DAMPENING.

 LEAST MAINTENANCE REQUIRED.

POLYVINLY CHOLRIDE
(PVC)
INTRODUCTION-
 POLYVINYL CHLORIDE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY USED THERMOPLASTIC
POLYMERS IN THE WORLD.
 PVC IS PRODUCED IN TWO GENERAL FORMS , FIRST AS A RIGID OR UNPLASTICIZED POLYMER AND SECOND AS
A FLEXIBLE, PLASTICIZED OR REGULAR PVC.
 THE POLYMERS ARE LINEAR AND ARE STRONG. THE MONOMERS ARE MAINLY ARRANGED HEAD-TO-TAIL,
MEANING THAT THERE ARE CHLORIDES ON ALTERNATING CARBON CENTRES.
 ABOUT 57% OF THE MASS OF PVC IS CHLORINE.
 IT IS ALSO USED IN PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL CABLE INSULATION, IMITATION LEATHER, SIGNAGE, INFLATABLE
PRODUCTS, DOORS, WATER TANK AND MANY APPLICATIONS WHERE IT REPLACES RUBBER, AS WELL AS ON
WALLS .
HISTORY OF POLYVINLY CHOLRIDE
 POLYVINLY CHOLRIDE WAS FIRST CREATED BY
THE GERMAN CHEMIST EUGEN BAUMANN IN
1872.
 WALDO SEMON AND B.F.GOODRICH
COMPANY DEVELOPED A METHOD IN 1926
TO PLASTICIZE PVC BY BLENDING IT WITH
VARIOUS ADDITIVES.
 THE RESULT WAS A MORE FLEXIBLE AND
MORE EASILY PROCESSED MATERIAL THAT
SOON ACHIEVED AND KNOWN AS PVC SHEET
WHICH IS USED AS FAÇADE TREATMENT
KNOW A DAYS .
PVC AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL-
 PVC IS ALSO USED FOR VARIOUS WORK IN INDUSTRY AND
CONSTRUCTION FIELD , SUCH AS PIPES, SHEETS , CELING ,WALLS
,ETC.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PVC -
 DENSITY : PVC IS VERY LOW DENSE COMPARED TO MOST PLASTICS (SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1.4)
 HARDNESS : RIGID PVC IS VERY HSRD .
 STRENGTH : RIGID PVC HAS EXTREMELY GOOD TENSILE STRENGTH .
 MELTING POINT: PVC MELTING POINT RANGES BETWEEN THE LOW 100 DEGREE CELSIUS AND HIGHER VALUE 260
DEGREE CELSIUS .
 THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC IS ABOUT THERMOPLASTICS IS THAT THEY CAN BE HEATED TO THEIR
MELTING POINT, COOLED, AND REHEATED AGAIN WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION .

REASON BEHIND USE OF PVC -

 PVC IN PARTICULAR HAS VERY LOWER DENSITY FOR A PLASTIC MAKING IT EXTERMELY HARD AND
GENERALLY VERY STRONG .
 IT IS READILY AVAILABLE AND VERY ECONOMICAL WHICH COMBINED WITH THE LONG LASTING
CHARACTERISTICS OF PLASTICS MAKING IT AN EASY CHOICE FOR MANY CONSTRUCTION PURPOSE.
 ADVANTAGES OF PVC OVER OTHER
MATERIALS-
EASY TO INSTALL

COST –EFFECTIVE
PVC IS ONE
