What is TUFF+ ACP?
Aluminum composite panels (ACP) consist of two sheets of aluminum that are thermally bonded to a polymer core.
ACP panels are lightweight, yet strong and rigid, making them an ideal choice for building cladding or facades, interior cladding and furniture surfacing.
The benefits of ACP within the construction industry include:
- Strength and durability – Very high strength & resists impacts and scratches
- Easy to work with, can be installed onto machined surfaces using silicon adhesive
- Low maintenance
- Beautiful and Cost-effective
- A wide range of styles and colors are available, including touch imprint which means you can feel the grain of wood or stone.
- Water and mold proof– won’t weaken over time and provides a strong non-porous surface
Wood rots. Steel rusts. ACP stays beautiful.
Low Maintenance
Aluminum composite panels are made with a high-quality coating that doesn’t need much maintenance. This will help you save money in the long run. It provides substantial cost savings for commercial or residential high-rise buildings. Over time, other cladding materials may need special care to prevent failure due to increased pollution levels in big cities, but aluminum composite panels, however, only require a natural detergent mixed with water to clean them.
Durability
Aluminum composite panels are very durable and have a lot of good features. They have a fluorocarbon coating that makes them resistant to high temperatures, bad weather, wear and tear, and pollution, and they are very strong so they can resist strong wind, lightning, and shocks.
Lightweight
They are also lighter than most decorative materials because they are made of high-quality plastic and aluminum alloy. This material is helpful for construction because it is lightweight and speeds up the construction process.
Environmental Protection
Aluminum composite panels offer environmental protection. The surface layer stays intact, and this prevents any harm to the environment. In addition, most of the aluminum used in these panels is recycled. This means they are sustainable and aren’t as bad for the environment as panels made from other materials. ACP won’t end up in landfills when you’re done with them.
Easy to Install
Aluminum composite panels are easy to install. They can be cut and shaped into many different forms, which is useful for construction projects with unique designs. Aluminum composite panels have a very flat surface, which is why many modern architects love to use them in their designs. The flat surface can make buildings look sleek and elegant.
Fire Resistant
Aluminum composite panels have some special features. The aluminum on the outside of the panel protects the inside, which is made from a softer material. This aluminum helps to keep heat from passing through, and it meets international standards for fire resistance.
