ALUBOND FR-A2 ACM PANEL FIRE-RESISTANT CORE
Alubond-Stone (FR-A2) are exterior fire retardant panels featuring over 90% stone core sandwiched between two metal skins. Alubond-Stone (FR-A2) uses a patented core formulation enriched with a high percentage of Magnesium Hydroxide to offer superior fire retardant capabilities, making it an exceptionally safe cladding solution for buildings worldwide. Alubond-Stone (FR-A2) has passed stringent fire tests worldwide, achieving classifications such as EN 13501-1 B S1 D0 (over 90% stone core content) and EN 13501-1 B s1 d0 (over 70% stone core content).
- Advantages of Magnesium Hydroxide:
- Acts as a filler and flame retardant/smoke suppressant
- Environmentally friendly
- Halogen-free
- Non-corrosive
- Reduces smoke density
- Non-volatile
- Largely inert
- Thermally stable up to 340°C, thereafter undergoing endothermic decomposition and releasing water
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂, commonly forms in various geological settings, including as an alteration product of periclase in marble, in low-temperature hydrothermal veins within metamorphosed limestones and chlorite schists, and during the serpentinization of dunites. It frequently occurs alongside minerals like serpentine, calcite, aragonite, dolomite, magnesite, hydromagnesite, artinite, talc, and chrysotile.

Aluminum Composite Panels Benefits and Advantages
- Lightweight: ACM has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for various applications without adding significant weight to the structure.
- Cost-Effective: ACM panels are a low-cost option for building claddings, offering an excellent balance between quality and affordability.
- Fire Performance: While aluminum is non-combustible, the fire performance of ACM panels depends on the core material used. Panels with a fire-retardant (FR) core are available for applications requiring enhanced fire resistance.
- Flexible Design: ACM can be used around curves and corners and for unusually shaped facades, providing architects and designers with creative freedom.
- Durability: ACM panels are incredibly strong and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making them suitable for long-term exterior use.
- Aesthetic Variety: A large selection of colors and finishes, including metallic, wood, stone, sparkle & prismatic finishes, allows for complete customization of building exteriors.
- Low Maintenance: The panels require minimal maintenance due to their durable PVDF coating, which offers excellent resistance to weathering, corrosion, and UV radiation.
- Sound Insulation: Although not specifically designed for sound insulation, ACM panels can contribute to a building’s overall sound insulation properties due to their layered composition.
- Energy Efficiency: ACM panels can contribute to a building’s energy efficiency by minimizing heat infiltration, which can reduce heating and cooling demands.
- Ease of Installation: ACM panels feature easy installation and fabrication methods, allowing for efficient construction processes and the ability to create complex architectural designs.
ACM PANEL APPLICATIONS
Beyond general cladding applications, ACM panels are exceptionally versatile, making them suitable for a wide range of architectural uses, such as:
- Interior applications: ACM panels add a modern, sleek appearance to walls, partitions, and ceilings, benefiting from their aesthetic versatility and durability.
- Flat, Curved, Sloped, or Vertical Surfaces: This point nicely captures the flexibility of ACM panels. Their ability to be fabricated into various shapes makes them ideal for creative architectural designs, including complex geometries.
- Column Covers: ACM panels are simple to shape and install, resulting in a smooth and uniform appearance that blends well with the building’s facade.
- Canopies: ACM is a great material for canopies as it is lightweight and durable. It enhances the overall look of the entrance or outdoor space while offering protection from the elements.
- Soffits: ACM is ideal for soffits as it provides unmatched durability and low maintenance. Its ability to seamlessly match or complement the exterior cladding of buildings makes it a superior option for covering the underside of roofs.
- Signage: ACM panels are the ultimate choice for signage, thanks to their unbeatable durability, extensive range of finishes, and unmatched long-lasting visual impact, whether used indoors or outdoors.
- Roof Edges: ACM panels are the ideal solution for finishing roof edges. They provide a sleek, modern appearance that complements the building’s overall exterior design and offers superior weather protection.
