INTRODUCTION
Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) adalah istilah umum untuk panel yang
terdiri atas 2 lembar aluminium yang diikat pada inti
Also known as Sandwich panel, it is a structure made of three layers:
▪ Low density core inserted in between two relatively thin skin layers.
▪ This sandwich setup allows to achieve excellent mechanical performance at
minimal weight.
▪ The very high rigidity of a sandwich panel is achieved thanks to interaction of
its components under flexural load applied to the panel.
▪ Core takes the shear loads and creates a distance between the skins which
take the in-plane stresses, one skin in tension, the other in compression.
CLASSIFICATION
PROPERTIES OF ACP
▪ Aesthetically pleasing: Other means of making a structure
cannot deliver the result as Aluminum Composite Panel
does.
▪ Good Insulation Material: Thermal and acoustical
▪ Dead weight of the Composite material is very low.
▪ Is resistant to heat up to a temperature as high as of 113
degree Celsius after which it starts deforming in the first
place and then fails.
▪ Aluminum can be painted in any kind of color, and ACPs
are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-metallic
colors as well as patterns that imitate other materials,
such aswood or marble.
ADVANTAGES

INSTALLATION OF ACP
▪ Aluminium composite panel are installed on aluminium by rivet or screw Or
Cutting.
Panel can be cut by suitable kinds of saws and lathes.
 SALIENT FEATURES OF ACP
• Very light reducing the dead weight of the building and frame loading.
• Resistant to extremes of weather exposure and temperature.
• Excellent UV characteristics retaining colour after long exposure.
• High impact resistance
• 100% maintenance free
• Good sound insulation.
• World renowned 3M tape is used for fixing the ACP to the aluminium
frame.
• Anti-Fungal protection
• Lightweight, reducing frame loading and installation costs
• Capable of being shaped and formed without loss of surface integrity
• High strength and rigidity - outstanding deflection and bending
strength
• Short time for Mounting : as result cuts down construction time
• Good Sound insulation - reduces unwanted vibrational noise
•Ease of installation - can be bent, cut, drilled, punched &
stamped
• Resistant to extremes of weather exposure and
temperature
• Excellent UV characteristics retaining colour after long
exposure
•Smooth paint finish and locquering - 3 layer PVdF 70% Kynar -
500
• Superior flatness - ideal of creating smooth, monolithic
surfaces
• High impact resistance
• Pollution, acid, alkali, and self-spray resistant finish
• Very low coefficient of expansion

Aluminium can be painted in any kind of colour, and ACPs are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-
metallic colours as well as patterns that imitate other materials, such as wood or marble. ACPs are frequently
used for external cladding or facades of buildings, insulation & signage
