Alcomb: The Nature-Inspired New Age Supermaterial

The panel in this picture shown above is an aluminium honeycomb construction.

This modern material is increasingly being utilised in building exteriors, interiors, and signs.

Alstone is one of the leading makers of Aluminium Honeycomb Panels in India. Alstone's Honeycomb Composite Panels have a single-step bonding method for improved strength.

Honeycomb Panel – The idea behind

Alstone's Aluminium Honeycomb Panel Alcomb feature excellent peel strength and durability. This Honeycomb Panel doesn't turn hard or fragile. Architects, planners, and designers recommendAlcomb because of their high tensile strength, beautiful aesthetics, and processing abilities.

Aluminium as Honeycomb

Alstone's Aluminium Honeycomb Panels come in a variety of colours and styles. Cover sheets of Alstone Honeycomb Panels can be utilised for both utilitarian and ornamental purposes. It is not flammable or meltable.

Alcomb Benefits:

• Alstone's Alcomb is unsurpassed in its field. It has a high peel strength.
• It is light and sturdy, Alcomb score high on both counts
• Alcomb surfaces are clean, attractive and provide good sound isolation as well.
• Alcomb can be recycled at any time.

Uses

Alstone honeycomb panels aren't simply for cladding. They can also be utilised to create an artistic ceiling or a faux wall.

Alcomb- Nature's Touch

Inspired by the natural hexagonal honeycomb, ALCOMB is a light and sturdy panel made of two aluminium alloy sheets facing one other, with an aluminium foil honeycomb core. Its honeycomb structure makes it lighter than other materials as well as increases the body's stiffness and stability.

These panels are recyclable and reusable. Aluminium alloy is a non-combustible fire retardant and preventive substance. Our outstanding quality-control systems, include rigorous testing under the most stringent requirements, and a 15-year warranty on the Honeycomb panels.

Applications

ALCOMB panels are designed with high strength and low mass, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

In addition to sandwich panels, aluminium honeycomb can be used as a core material in floor and roof construction, as well as indoors, partitions and facades.

It is also used in many industries (tool machines, serigraphy, etc.) and applications (e.g., public transportation, maritime, construction, etc.).

How Come Honeycomb?

In the past, aluminium honeycomb composite material was used in military applications. That it saves a lot of aluminium and other materials, makes it a favoured material innovation in the material sector. Over the next five years, the country's output of aluminium honeycomb composite materials is expected to expand by 18% annually. Aluminium honeycomb panels will continue to gain prominence in the future years.

Aluminum Honeycomb Benefits:

1. Lightweight, low-density, high-efficiency
   1. The honeycomb panel's core layer is a cellular structure with regular polygonal cells, resulting in a solid portion with a small cross-sectional area and lower density than other sandwich materials. Honeycomb panels are the lightest in weight per unit volume since their density is lower than laminates and steel sheets.
   2. Aluminium honeycomb panels meet the standards for lightweight, energy-saving & environmentally beneficial material, and due to its low density and lightweight, honeycomb panels are ideal materials for aerospace, engineering, aircraft, and marine applications.
2. Unrivalled impact resistance and vibration damping
   1. When a honeycomb panel is struck by an object, the impact force is converted into plastic deformation energy in the honeycomb core. The aluminium honeycomb panel's toughness is better and impact resistance is strong. The dampening impact on the honeycomb is low — unsurpassed in the category.
3. Sound and heat insulation
   1. Contrarily, the honeycomb panel's distinctive structure allows for good heat and sound insulation.
   2. The core is a cellular structure with a hexagonal hole. A honeycomb panel, for example, is 51.9648.0012.20 mm wide, with a 0.1mm foil thickness. The solid component is barely 4% of the total volume. The honeycomb core and skin sheet combine to form hexagonal column-shaped closed spaces, and the air layer between the skin sheets is similarly divided into closed cells, restricting airflow and hindering heat conversion and transmission. The honeycomb panel provides great heat and sound insulation because of its limited sound dispersion.
4. Non-combustible and Waterproof
   1. The aluminium panel has an aluminium honeycomb core. Aluminium alloy is a non-combustible fire retardant and preventive substance. And it resists corrosion and dampness.
5. Formability and Thickness
   1. The honeycomb aluminium panel can be made in a flat plate, a single curved panel, or a double curved panel, depending on the application. Easy to make and deform honeycomb aluminium panels are thus produced.
6. Environmentally friendly and non-polluting
   1. Aluminium honeycomb panels are made from non-radioactive aluminium alloy that emits no harmful gases. Honeycomb panels are 100% recyclable, saving resources and energy while also protecting the environment. The honeycomb panel also reduces vehicle load, enhances power, reduces fuel consumption, and minimises pollutants while saving energy.
7. Excellent Aesthetics and Cleaning
   1. Coloured or patterned honeycomb panel skin sheets can be used as-is (mill finish) or coated with RAL colours, timber designs or even stone patterns.
