ALPOLIC®/fris an aluminium composite material (ACM) with a non-combustible mineral-filled core. Used as an exterior and interior cladding and roof covering on new buildings and retrofit applications, the material is manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Functional Products, Inc., and furnished by approved dealers or distributors.
ALPOLIC®/fr
| | Productcomposition
ALPOLIC ®/fr is composed of a non-combustible mineral-filled core sandwiched between two skins of 0.5mm thick aluminium alloy(3105-H14):
| Composition | Skinmaterial: | 0.5mm thickaluminium (3105-H14) | | | Corematerial: | Non-combustible mineral filled core |
The surface is finished with a high-performance Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating, and the back is a wash coating or service coating. ALPOLIC®/fr is available in four finishes: Solid colours, Metallic colours, Sparkling colours and Stone Series. In these finishes, Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon paints are applied in manufacturer's continuous coil coating lines. The Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating complies with the "specification for coated coil for exterior building applications" issued by both the ECCA (European Coil Coating Association) and the AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association). Refer to "6. Paint finishes" below for details on ALPOLIC®/fr paint finishes.
The back of ALPOLIC®/fr (which will face the structural wall orsteel when it is installed as a cladding panel) has a polyester-based wash coating or service coating to protect it frompossible corrosion problems.
The surface is protected with a self-adhesive peel-off protective film consisting of two polyethylene layers of white and black. According to weathering tests under normal outdoor conditions, the protective film will withstand six months' exposure without losingits original peel-off characteristic or causing stains or other damages.

| Product |
Alpolic |
| The visual aims of the project required a flexible
panelised cladding system available in a range of bright yet fade
resistant colours. The versatility and aesthetic quality of the product
along with the confidence of being supported by Mitsubishi Chemical
meant that Alpolic was the choice. |
