What Is The Aluminum Plastic Composite Panel?

Aluminum-plastic panel (ACP, full name Aluminum Composite Panel) is a composite material composed of two thin aluminum plates and a non-aluminum core material in the middle (usually polyethylene or mineral filler). It is widely used in construction, decoration, and other fields. It is popular because of its lightness, durability, easy processing, and diverse appearance options.

Aluminum-plastic panels are mainly made of aluminum and polyethylene, one is a metal material and the other is a non-metal material. Polyethylene plastic is used as the core material, while aluminum is chemically treated and surface sprayed. Through professional production and processing technology, these two different materials are combined into one.

What are the advantages of aluminum-plastic panels?

Lightweight

Aluminum-plastic panels have low density and are lightweight, making them easy to carry and install.

Durable

The surface of the aluminum-plastic panel is covered with an aluminum layer, which is corrosion-resistant, waterproof, fire-proof, and UV-resistant, and has a long service life.

Beautiful

The surface of the aluminum-plastic panel is smooth and beautiful, with rich colors. Different colors, patterns, and shapes can be customized according to needs to meet various decorative effect requirements.

Environmental protection

Aluminum-plastic panels do not emit any harmful substances during production and use.

Application fields of aluminum-plastic panels

Building exterior wall decoration

Aluminum-plastic panels can be used for various building exterior wall decorations, such as large shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, residences, etc. By choosing different colors and specifications, a variety of effects can be achieved to improve the visual effect of the building.

Indoor partitions

Aluminum-plastic panels can be used to make various indoor partitions, such as kitchens, bathrooms, offices, etc. Its waterproof, fireproof, and easy-to-clean features make it one of the best interior decoration materials.

Advertising Production

Aluminum-plastic panels can be used to make various billboards and road signs. Its beautiful appearance and wide range of uses make it the preferred material in the billboard industry.

Packaging materials

Aluminum-plastic panels can be used to make various packaging materials, such as gift boxes, cosmetic boxes, wine boxes, etc. Its lightweight, beautiful appearance and environmental protection make it the preferred material in the modern packaging industry.

Classification of aluminum-plastic panels

Classification by purpose

Aluminum-plastic panels can be divided into three types: building curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels, exterior wall decoration advertising aluminum-plastic panels, and indoor aluminum-plastic panels. The thickness of aluminum-plastic panels for different purposes is also different.

Differentiation by function

The functions of aluminum-plastic panels are different. Some use flame-retardant profiles, so they have good fire resistance.

Some aluminum-plastic panels are coated with antibacterial coatings, so they can inhibit microorganisms and kill bacteria.

In addition, there are aluminum-plastic panels with antistatic coatings as surface coatings. This type of aluminum-plastic panel does not easily generate static electricity and does not easily adhere to dust. It is a decorative material with strong antistatic performance.

Classification by decorative performance

According to the decorative effect, it can be divided into coated decorative aluminum-plastic panels, oxidized colored aluminum-plastic panels, laminated decorative composite panels, color-printed aluminum-plastic panels, brushed aluminum-plastic panels, and mirrored aluminum-plastic panels.

The aluminum-plastic panels produced by different production processes have different aesthetics, so the selection range is very wide.

Color selection of aluminum-plastic panel

The aluminum-plastic panel is a three-layer composite panel with a decorative film on the surface. The color of the aluminum-plastic panel is closely related to the surface decoration, and different surface decoration effects have different colors.

If it is a coated decorative aluminum-plastic panel, common colors include metallic color, pearlescent color, fluorescent color, etc.;

If it is an oxidized colored aluminum-plastic panel, there are rose red, bronze, etc.;

If it is a laminated decorative composite panel, there are ridge patterns, wood grain panels, etc.; The decorative effect of the color-printed aluminum-plastic panel is quite special, which is produced by imitating natural patterns through special technology.

Ordinary brushed aluminum-plastic panels are available in brushed silver and brushed gold; high-gloss aluminum-plastic panels are available in dark red and black; mirrored aluminum-plastic panels are available in mirrored silver and mirrored gold;

If it is a fireproof aluminum-plastic panel, it is generally pure white. These are relatively common and basic colors. Some aluminum-plastic panel manufacturers can also produce according to customer needs.

How to choose aluminum-plastic panels?

First, you need to check whether the surface of the aluminum-plastic panel is flat, and there should be no bumps or scratches on the surface.

Secondly, you need to see whether its thickness meets the requirements. Generally, the thickness of the inner wall panel is 3mm, and the thickness of the outer wall panel must be above 4mm.

And then, you also need to understand whether it has a complete quality inspection report to ensure that it meets environmental protection and related quality standards.

Finally, to ensure that there is no problem with the product quality, you also need to compare it with similar products, including price, sample quality, etc.

Installation and maintenance of aluminum-plastic panels

Installation

Aluminum-plastic panels can be installed by mechanical fixing or gluing, the specific method depends on the purpose and design requirements.

Maintenance

Daily maintenance is simple, you can use a neutral detergent to clean the surface, and avoid using strong acid or strong alkaline detergents.

Conclusion

In summary, aluminum-plastic panel is a new type of composite material with a wide range of uses. Its superior performance and wide range of applications make it an indispensable material in the fields of architectural decoration, advertising production, packaging materials, etc.
