Aluminum Composite Panel is a kind of sandwich panel with low-density cores and aluminum panels bonded on each side. (What is Aluminum Composite Panel?) This material is very lightweight and suitable for applications that require rigid partitions or lids and high rigidity.

The application areas of aluminum composite panels include cladding, ceilings, partitions, false ceilings, signs, interior decoration, and insulation and so on. It is the most common product application used in both interior and exterior buildings. This product is a low-cost covering and an aesthetic material for covering the walls of buildings. It reduces construction costs and provides internal reorganization of the building. Signage is another important product application used to make advertising enclosures.

Why is Aluminum composite panel so popular? Here are 7 interesting facts about aluminum composite panels.

1. Fire Resistance

Many aluminum composite panel manufacturers will advertise their products are non-combustible, which can lead to misunderstandings for beginners.
The key point about the fireproof aluminum composite panel is the special fireproof core and it needs to go through rigorous testing .
Take Alucoworld as an example. Our FR ACP core is composed of minerals, which can be fire-resistant for 30 minutes to 6 hours according to requirements.
In case of fire, it would be an important time to save peoples’ life and property.

2. Environmental Protection

Aluminum composite panel is one of the most environmentally friendly materials, and it is also conducive to recycling. The aluminum extracted from the sandwich panel can be easily recycled without any loss of value or quality.
The panels you use for construction may be made of recycled materials, or at least some of the panels may be made of recycled aluminum. Many panels may contain more recycled materials. In any case, the remaining parts or complete panels that are replaced can be easily recycled.

3. Lightweight

Compared with wood, vinyl and fiber cement, an important reason why aluminum composite panels can stand out is that it is light enough.
The weight of any building material may increase the cost of the entire construction project. You may need more vehicles or equipment to help with the transportation. It also means more workers and longer time to move and install each of them.

4. Strong And Sturdy

Although very light, the strength of aluminum composite panels is not weaker than any building material. 
Aluminum composite panels can withstand a temperature range of -50° to +80° Celsius and have a certain degree of corrosion resistance, which means they can withstand the effects of weather changes.
In addition, ACP panel is also known for its excellent thermal and sound insulation properties, which makes it a perfect cladding material for the exterior of any building.

5. Multi Colors & Sizes Support Customization

Aluminum composite panel can be produced in a variety of colors and sizes. You can choose from Alucoworld color chart or other professional color chart to match your company's specific colors and design styles.
The standard size of ACP panel is usually 1220x2440mm, which is commonly used in many areas. According to your requirements, the widths are available in 1000mm, 1220mm (regular), 1250mm, 1300mm, 1500mm, 1550mm, 1575mm, 2000mm (maximum) and the length can be up to 5800mm.

6. Imitation Appearance

Aluminum composite panels own amazing creativity. They can be painted with many different colored surfaces and textures to imitate natural inspirations such as veneer or natural stone.
In this case, architects have a greater possibility to achieve visually different material combinations only through aluminum composite panels.

7. Modern and Stylish

Since the invention of the aluminum composite panel, "The Beam Range Of The Facade Material" has created a modern and stylish appearance on the exterior of the building.
Due to excellent wiring characteristics it can be bent in any shape such as concave or convex, diamond, dome etc.
