Comparison of ALPOLIC®/fr and ALUCOBOND® PLUS ACM Panels
ALPOLIC®/fr and Alucobond Plus ACM panels offer robust solutions for architectural needs with fire-resistant properties. While both products are coated with high-quality, durable finishes, ALPOLIC®/fr uses a Lumiflon® FEVE resin coating for a wide range of colors and glosses, and Alucobond Plus uses PVDF or FEVE coatings conforming to high standards for environmental friendliness and weather resistance. Alucobond Plus, with its 5005 marine grade alloy, is particularly noted for its suitability in projects close to water.
