ACP Sheet stands for "Aluminium Composite Panel" Sheet. It is a cladding where two thin aluminium sheets are bonded to a polyethylene core. ACP sheets are often used for architectural cladding, exterior walls, and interior design. They are lightweight, durable, and easy to install. They also have excellent resistance to weather, moisture, and fire. Additionally, ACP sheets come in a wide range of colors and finishes, making them an ideal building material for a variety of constructions.
We are the top ACP Sheet manufacturer that produce an A2 Grade non-combustible composite panel in India. Commonly called ACP sheets, these sheets are fire retardant which keeps you safe & secure.
A fire-retardant core is placed between two aluminium skins in Alstone FR. Most countries' Fire Safety Norms are met, and in some cases exceeded. About 70% of the core is made up of non-combustible minerals.
In comparison to solid aluminium panels, Alstone FR is also lighter. Wide Range of colors is what also makes it a suitable & standout product.
Alstone FR is a premium, fire-resistant metal composite panel with an A2 fire rating.
We are the first ACP Sheet manufacturer to introduce an A2 Grade non-combustible composite panel in India. Commonly called as ACP sheets, these sheets are fire retardant which keeps you safe & secure.
In Alstone FR, a fire-resistant core is sandwiched between two layers of aluminium. Most countries' fire safety standards are met, and in some cases exceeded, by Alstone FR. Non-combustible minerals make up roughly 70% of the core.
For the safety of your building, the eco-friendly panel has a core made of non-flammable minerals. An aluminium composite panel, also known as an ACP sheet, is a modern panelling material that is used for building exteriors (facades), interiors, kitchen cabinets, and signage.
Aluminium Composite Panel is the most durable and versatile decorative surface material in the market, with superior performance properties.
Polymer cores need to be properly treated to improve fire resistance, or a non-combustible mineral fibre FR core sandwiched between two layers of aluminium skins should be used. As a result, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), fluoropolymer resin (FEVE), polyester coating, and other materials are used to preserve the ACP sheets.
In addition, Alstone prides itself on being the country's foremost manufacturer of HPL Sheet, Aluminium Louvers, Aluminium Honeycomb, and Zinc Composite Panels.
Alstone ACP sheets are classified into two types based on their usage and fire rating standards.
Aluminium Composite panels are made up of two thin layers of aluminium sheets sandwiched by a polymer core. The polymer core of an Aluminium Composite Panel is typically made of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) or Polyurethane & Alstone offer different skin core thickness depending on one’s requirement.
Depending on the core material, the fire-rated Aluminium Composite Panel can withstand a fire for up to 2 hours. The primary distinction between fire-rated ACP sheets manufactured by Alstone and standard ACP sheets is in the core materials. The Standard ACP's core is made of LDPE/HDPE, whereas the fire-rated ACP has a specially formulated fire-resistant mineral core. Magnesium hydroxide is commonly used as a core for superior fire-retardant properties.
However, as the name implies, Fire Grade Aluminium Composite Panels have the unique property of withstanding high temperatures.
It is important to remember that the highest-grade ACP is fire retardant ACP (A2 GRADE), which contains nearly 90% inorganic mineral content.
Aluminium Composite Panels are widely used nowadays due to a variety of distinct properties. Here are some of the distinguishing characteristics that set it apart from other comparative panelling materials.
In comparison to steel and other construction materials, the ACP sheet is lightweight. With large spans and large areas involved, this drastically reduces the design loads on the structure. ACP sheets are lightweight and simple to lift and erect. Overall, this reduces manpower and construction costs while keeping the project on schedule.
Flexible ACP sheets are highly adaptable and simple to work with. The fixing framework assembly is straightforward, and installation is simple and quick.
The variety of finishes available with this composite panel gives it exceptional versatility. Aluminium composite board can be textured, solid, mirror, or wood type to match any architectural theme. In general, the colour and texture of real stone and wood can be made of.
An ACP sheet is an environmentally friendly material that is composed of 85% recycled aluminium. Furthermore, the ACP core material and cover sheets can be reused indefinitely.
Overall, ACP sheets have high dimensional stability, and the material can be stable for a long time without changing dimensions.
When compared to other panelling materials, ACP sheet is the most cost-effective option. The price is determined by the primary materials. Naturally, Fire-rated materials will be more expensive than standard non-fire-rated ACP.
ACP panels are weather resistant and durable. They are basically unbreakable, stain-resistant, weather-resistant, termite-resistant, moisture-resistant, and anti-fungal.
Because of its exceptional properties, ACP sheet is primarily used for a wide range of applications. The ACP sheet has the following major applications.
Architectural cladding, both external and internal
Because of their diverse properties such as UV resistance, fire resistance, and durability. ACP sheets are generally available in a wide range of colours to complement any architectural theme. The lightweight properties, simple fixing methods, and quick construction make ACP sheets the preferred choice for facades/partitions.
Interior applications for ACP sheets include wall coverings, false ceilings, cupboards, portable kitchen cabinets, tabletops, column covers, and more.
Aluminium composite panels are fire retardant, environmentally friendly, easy to clean, and can reduce construction time in half.
Above all, ACP panels are corrosion resistant and prevent acid and alkali corrosion, as well as other types of corrosion.
ACP sheets are a popular choice in the construction industry due to their versatile properties.
