1)What is Alucobest ACP?
Alucobest Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) is made up of two layers of aluminum skin on the top and bottom, and one layer of anti-toxic polyethylene material in the core. Also the skin surfaces can be coated with special paint material like PVDF resin or Polyester resin under a specific temperature condition.

2)What application is Alucobest ACP for ?

Wall Curtain, Cladding and Facade
Roof edges and Parapet wall;
Dado, Separion Wall and Partition
Advertising Board, Showroom and Shopfront Siging.
Column Covers and Beam Wraps

3)What is the standard size available?
1220(width)*2440(Length)*3(Thickness)MM
1220(width)*2440(Length)*4(Thickness)MM

4)What is the maximum width and maximum length?
The maximum widht is 1550mm, and the maximm length is 6000mm.

5)Can you produce special thickness for Alucobest panel?
We also can offer 2mm,5mm,6mm Alucobest panels.

6)How long does it take to match a custom color?
Our color matching process normally takes a week. A sample is preferred when a color match
is requested. Also we can match the color as per international color charts,such as RAL color.

7)How does Alucobest ship our panels?
Our policy at this time is that all orders ship from our facility in Shanghai, China to destination
port under FOB, C&F, CIF terms.

8)What is the minimum order?
600sqm for our standard color, 1000sqm for special color;

9)How long is your delivery time?
Normally the delivery time is within 15 days after your downpayment.

10)Why does PVDF coating possess such excellent performances?
The structure of fluorine-carbon short bond combined with hydrogen bond is the steadiest and
firmest structure among all kinds of chemical bond structure. As one of the criteria of judging s
-tability and tightness of chemical structure, the electronegative atom index of PVDF coating co
-uld achieve 105 KJ/mole. However, for the normal coating, it is only 83.2 KJ/mole. Also, there i
-s an inorganic material whose molecular structure is SiO2 , which is created by certain chemi
-cal method and made of pure inorganic resin. Because the energy of composing Silicon and
Oxide is 101KJ/mole, this kind of molecular structure will not be destroyed easily by ultraviolet
radiation. Moreover, the other properties of PVDF coating, such as self-cleaning, Incombustibi
-lity, environmental protection etc., are still remarkable.

11)What is the nano coating advantage?
The nano coating is an additional coating based on high-tech paints with property of anti-graffiti,
anti-scratch and self-clean when it is used for every Alucobest PVDF colors. Its outstanding func
-ion is anti-abrasion,anti-salt, anti-moisture and UV-resistance. In image, it will be more shiny t-
han normal PVDF coating . So it will make your building more shiny , more clean and reduce the
maitanance cost too.And it is also used for Alucobest polyester colors.

12)What is the copper Composite panel advantage?
Alucobest® Copper Composite Material is composed of a thermoplastic core sandwiched betw
-een two thin sheets of copper . The Alucobest ® panels offer designers, architects and building
owners the rigidity of heavy-gauge sheet metal in a lightweight copper composite material . The
milled copper finish changes with time and weathering , with the natural copper surface's ever-c
-hanging patina constantly evolving to add richness and depth to any building's facade.

13)What is the stainless steel composite panel advantage?
Alucobest® Stainless Steel Composie Panel (SSCP) deliver the same outstanding qualities fou
-nd in our standard ACM panels. Light in weight, tough as nails , and amazingly easy to fabricate and install. The Alucobest® SSCP isideal choices for the cladding of building exteriors, entryway
-s , canopies , soffits , and fascias . Their strength and durability make them cost effective for the cladding of entire structures or for providing wonderfully distinctive accents .The SSCP feature st
-ainless steel sheets on both sides . The result is an even more durable, yet still lightweight mat
-erial suited for a wide variety of applications.

14)How to examine the quality of protective films?
Film thickness > 0.08mm, black inside and milky white outside
The degree of transparency of protective film should be very low. Also , when the film is being to
-rn from rubber layer, the sound is usually low, the gloss of rubber layer is low , and the string is
usually long and white; whereas, when the film is being torn from the acryloyl layer , the sound i
-s generally high, the gloss of rubber layer is high, and the string is very short. Surely, what men
-tioned above is only used for reference, and could not be the final judgment, which must be tes
-ted by the specific devices.

15)How to identify the quality of the ACP?
Aluminum composite panel (ACP) is a kind of new decoration building material for exterior and
interior wall.There are many different brands and different quality in the market, it is hard for con
-sumer to identify the quality of ACP. So we advise you to use the following methods:
1. Look over the surface of the panel, it should be smooth, no corrugation, without bubbling , fla
-w, nick;
2. Measure the panel, it should reach to the International Standard: Interior panel 3mm,Exterior
panel 4mm;
3. Bend the corner of the panel, if easy to be ruptured, it is not real PE, or bad PE
4. Light the PE, if it is completely burned, It's real PE; if impurity exists, it is bad PE
5. Slot the panel, if it is ruptured, it is bad
6. Drop a blob of Methyl Ethyl Ketone on exterior panel(PVDF), then rub out the reagent after 5 m
-inutes, if see the aluminum skin, it is not PVDF coating;
7. Drop a blob of Xylene on interior panel(Polyester), then rub out the reagent after 5 minutes, if
see the aluminum skin, it is not Polyester coating;
8. Ask for Quality Test Report and Warranty Certificate, ISO-9001 Quality System Certificate, whi
ch normal manufacturers obtained these certificates.

16)What are the benefits of using Alucobest panels?
Alucobest panels offer the user superior flatness, excellent color uniformity while being lightwei
-ght yet durable as well as as easy to work with. Alucobest will shine your building.
