What is Aluminum Composite Panel? | Differences Between Aluminum Composite Panel and Aluminum-Plastic Panel

What is aluminum composite panel? What is the difference between it and aluminum-plastic panel?

What is an aluminum-plastic panel?

Before introducing aluminum composite panel, let's take a look at what aluminum-plastic panel is.
Aluminum-plastic panel, also known as aluminum composite panel (Aluminum Composite Panels) abroad, is composed of upper and lower layers of high-purity aluminum alloy panels and a non-toxic low-density polyethylene (PE) core panel in the middle. For outdoor use, the front of the aluminum-plastic panel is coated with fluorocarbon resin (PVDF) coating, and for indoor use, the front can be coated with non-fluorocarbon resin coating.

Therefore, aluminum-plastic panel not only retains the main characteristics of the original component materials (metal aluminum, non-metallic polyethylene plastic), but also overcomes the shortcomings of the original component materials, and is widely used in various architectural decorations, such as storefronts, elevators, billboards, column wrapping, etc.

What is an aluminum composite panel?

After a brief review of aluminum-plastic panel, let's take a look at what aluminum composite panel is.
The core material in the middle of the aluminum composite panel is white. It is a natural and environmentally friendly inorganic material that does not contain any plastic components. The fire resistance temperature is 1100℃, which can reach A2 level fire protection. It can be seen that aluminum composite panels are upgraded products of aluminum-plastic panels. The building materials industry has changed its name to distinguish between aluminum-plastic panels.

Applications of aluminum composite panels

Aluminum composite panels have excellent fire resistance and are now widely used in building interior and exterior wall decoration, bus stations, railway stations, waiting rooms, urban complexes, office buildings, hospital ceiling walls and nurse station corridors, counters, furniture, buses, train compartments, aircraft, ship decoration materials, and design instrument boxes, etc.
