The enormous success of ALUCOBOND ® is based on its excellent
product qualities such as exceptional top-grade flatness and
rigidity, low weight, excellent formability, weather resistance,
simple fabrication and ease of cleaning. In addition, a large
choice of colours and a wide variety of designs offer architects
and designers unlimited possibilities for creative, innovative and
customised planning. ALUCOBOND ® is available in a large range
of formats including a flame-resistant or non-combustible core.
Due to its simple processing techniques and fire retardant core
options, the possibilities for implementing ALUCOBOND ® for
interior and exterior applications are extremely varied. It is used
in projects ranging from the precise construction of residential
buildings, representative public buildings, company headquarters,
commercial and industrial buildings to the prestigious landmarks
of modern urban construction. Since all ALUCOBOND ® products
are fully recyclable, they are ideal for projects that highly value
the use of eco-friendly materials.
In the future, ALUCOBOND ® will continue to focus strongly on
innovation. With new products and surfaces, we will offer new
possibilities and solutions to the world of architecture.
We pioneered a product that became synonymous with quality
and longevity.

Originating from an ingenious, patented product idea, the unique
success story of ALUCOBOND ® began when the product was
launched on the market in 1969. Originally used for upgrading
shop buildings, transport applications and furniture construction,
architects and designers soon discovered the host of advantages
of ALUCOBOND ® for the use in exterior architectural applications
and corporate identity programs, particularly in façades, wall
cladding and roof edging.

ALUCOBOND ® plus
ALUCOBOND ® plus has been developed exclusively for the more
stringent requirements fire prevention regulations in architectural
products. Thanks to its mineral-filled, core ALUCOBOND ® plus
meets the stricter requirements of the fire classifications. It is
hardly inflammable and offers all the proven product properties of
the ALUCOBOND ® family, such as flatness, formability, resistance
to weather and easy processing.
ALUCOBOND ® A2
ALUCOBOND® A2 is the only non-combustible aluminium composite
panel used in architecture worldwide. Thanks to its mineral-filled
core, ALUCOBOND ® A2 meets the strict requirements of the fire
regulations and enhances the possibilities for the concept and
design of buildings.
ALUCOBOND ® A2, just like all the products of the ALUCOBOND ®
family, allows simple processing, is impact-resistant, break-proof
and weatherproof and, above all, non-combustible.

ALUCOBOND ® surfaces are coated using exclusively high-quality and eco-friendly lacquer
systems.
They are highly weather resistant and resistant
to industrial emissions. These properties are
achieved using UV-resistant bonding agents.
For standard finishes, fluorpolymeric top coats
(e.g. PVDF) are used.
All surface coats are applied in a continuous coilcoating process, i.e. with a continuous coating
and stove-lacquering procedure.
The quality of the coating is tested according to
standards established by E.C.C.A. (European Coil
Coating Association), of which we are a member.

Routing & Folding
Routing & Folding
ALUCOBOND ® composite panels can be shaped using a very
simple processing method. The technique, called the routing and
folding method, enables a fabricator to produce shapes of various
kinds and sizes. A V-shaped or rectangular groove is routed on
the reverse side of the ALUCOBOND ® composite panel using a
disk or end milling cutter. A thin layer of the core material should
be left at the base of the groove, i.e. on the inside of the outer
cover sheet. The untouched outer cover sheet can now be bent
manually, giving an exact and clean folding line which follows the
routed groove. The outer radius of the folded edge depends on
the shape of the groove and its depth. The routing can be done
using a vertical panel saw equipped with ALUCOBOND ® grooving
accessories, a CNC machining centre, a portable sheet milling
machine or a hand router. The routing and folding method can
be used for ALUCOBOND ® composite panels with all available
standard surface finishes.

The composite structure of ALUCOBOND ® –
two aluminium cover sheets and a plastic or
mineral filled core – results in an impressive
strength-to-weight ratio, even when comparing large panel sizes. Even though the
panels are very lightweight, which makes
them easy to transport and handle in the
factory and on site, they are highly rigid
and strong, thus making the most suitable
for exterior wall cladding. When properly
designed and installed, ALUCOBOND ® panels will keep their shape and remain flat
for life, even when exposed to extreme
temperature changes.

Installation
Naturally ALUCOBOND ®
During the life cycle of ALUCOBOND composite panels, no
substances containing CFC are set free at any time. The core
material does not contain any nitrogen, chlorine or sulphur.
Therefore, selecting ALUCOBOND ® for projects which require
environmentally friendly materials is a natural choice.
®
The Rear-Ventilated Façade
During decades of use in a rear-ventilated cladding system,
ALUCOBOND ® protects the building from weathering and the
harmful effects caused by industrial and environmental pollution.
Advantages:
Lower maintenance costs
Long-term preservation of the building structure
An external cladding system using ALUCOBOND ® acts as a
barrier against solar radiation. The ventilated space between
the ALUCOBOND ® panels and the wall or the thermal insulation
reduces the heat transmission.
Advantages:
In winter: savings in heating cost
In summer: savings in air-conditioning cost
To avoid possible reflection differences (for metallic, special
ef fect, naturAL , and spectra colours) , it is recommended
to install the panels in the same direction as marked on the
protective peel-off-foil. Colour variations may occur between
panels originating from different production batches. To ensure
colour consistency, the total requirement for a project should
be placed in one order.
Protective Foil
To avoid glue residuals on the surface of the panels due to UV
radiation, it is recommended to remove the protective foil as
soon as possible after the installation.
The protective foils and the panel surfaces must not be marked
using ink (marker), adhesive tapes or stickers, as the lacquered
surfaces could be damaged by solvents or plasticizers.
Make sure to remove the protective foil as soon as possible
after installation as prolonged exposure to the elements could
make the foil difficult to remove.
The rear-ventilated cladding system using ALUCOBOND® protects
the building's wall from high and rapid temperature changes.
Moisture can pass through the wall. The building stays dry.
Advantages:
Reduction of thermal expansion
Reduction of crack formation
Environment, Safety and Health
For ALUCOBOND®, effective, continuous environmental protection
is a main priority. It is of utmost importance to preserve natural
resources in order to ensure a livable tomorrow for future
generations.
It commits itself to continuous self-improvement programmes for
environmental protection, many of which go above and beyond
government regulations. It is also in this area that ALUCOBOND ®
strives to be a leader in its field.
We were one of the first companies to develop its own environmental management system, which is regularly audited by
independent auditors. The successful certification according
to EN ISO 14001 speaks for itself.
Storage / Handling
Protect ALUCOBOND ® pallets during storage against rain,
seeping in of moisture and condensation.
Only pallets of identical size should be stacked, with a maximum
of 6 pallets stacked on top of each other.
Avoid storing the product for more than 6 months, as it may
become difficult to remove the protective foil.
When stacking the panels, nothing should be placed in between
them, as this could produce marks on the panels.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The frequency of cleaning depends on the design and the degree
of soiling. For further information, please refer to our brochure
ALUCOBOND ® Processing.
Recycling
ALUCOBOND ® can be fully recycled, i.e. both the core material
and the aluminium cover sheets can be recycled and used for
the production of new material.
Warranty
ALUCOBOND ® stands for high quality and longevity. Warranties
according to the product specification and approved field of
application can be obtained upon request.
