Façade cladding with aluminium composite panels from ALPOLIC

Architects, planners and fabricators are increasingly turning to aluminium composite panels - and for good reason: they are lightweight, dimensionally stable, durable and offer enormous design freedom combined with high functionality. Whether for energy-efficient building envelopes, sophisticated designs or sustainable refurbishment solutions - the façade material is impressive in every respect.

As a brand of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, ALPOLIC™ is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality aluminium composite panels. Developed for the highest demands in architecture, fire protection and sustainability, our panels combine design diversity with tested safety and exceptional durability. Whether for new construction, renovation or interior applications - ALPOLIC™ is the ideal solution for durable, functional and aesthetically pleasing façades - Developed for the architecture of tomorrow.

For many years, we have been developing pioneering solutions that fulfil even the strictest fire protection requirements. Our claim: maximum safety for our customers.

This is why we have consistently avoided using aluminium composite panels with a flammable polyethylene (PE) core since 1999, as this represents a high safety risk. Instead, we rely exclusively on materials with a flame-retardant (B-s1, d0) or non-combustible core (A1, A2-s1, d0) in order to guarantee the highest fire protection standards.

Low calorific value for maximum protection
 

Comparative tests prove it: ALPOLIC^TM NC/A1 achieves by far the lowest calorific value (PCS) of all tested façade materials. For you, this means a significantly reduced fire risk - and therefore greater safety for buildings and people.

Less fire residue in the event of a fire

Our composite panels not only offer excellent fire protection - in the event of an emergency, significantly less and smaller fire debris is produced than with solid aluminium. This not only reduces the damage load, but also facilitates safe evacuation in an emergency.

As part of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate strategy. We actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and work continuously to minimise our ecological footprint - with measurable results:

Since 2017, we have been able to reduce CO₂ emissions per square metre of composite panel by around 20%. This has been made possible by targeted investments in energy-efficient production processes and innovative material technologies.

Another component of our environmental strategy: our aluminium composite panels already consist of up to 85% recycled aluminium - a clear step towards circular value creation and sustainable material cycles. With our products, you are not only opting for quality and design diversity, but also for genuine environmental responsibility - a plus point in any building tender.

Circular economy: almost 100 % recycling potential

Aluminium is a material of the future - fully recyclable as often as required without any loss of quality. Our core material is also largely recyclable and is already being used today to manufacture new ALPOLIC™ composite panels. In this way, we make an active contribution to conserving resources, reducing waste and extending the product life cycle - a plus for the environment and the project balance sheet.

Refurbishments pose particular challenges for building owners and planners: limited load-bearing reserves, ambitious energy targets and tight time frames. ALPOLIC^TM aluminium composite panels offer exactly the right solution - technically sophisticated, sustainable and architecturally versatile.

• Lightweight with high stability Thanks to their intelligent sandwich structure, ALPOLIC^TM panels combine a low dead weight with exceptional stability. This protects the substructure - ideal for existing buildings with limited structural stability. At the same time, they enable large-format, visually homogeneous façade surfaces with high dimensional stability.
   
• Energy efficiency for the building envelope In combination with a ventilated rainscreen cladding (VHF), ALPOLICTM panels make an active contribution to energy-efficient refurbishment. They reduce thermal bridges, protect the existing building fabric and reduce energy requirements for heating and cooling by up to 23 % - measurable progress for your climate balance.
   
• Easy installation - even during operation ALPOLIC^TM panels can be installed quickly and precisely - even when the building is in operation. This minimises downtime, saves costs and keeps your schedule on track.

The installation of ALPOLIC™ aluminium composite panels is particularly efficient and easy to assemble. Thanks to their particularly high rigidity, larger spans can be realised in the substructure. This not only saves material, but also significantly reduces the assembly effort and installation time - a real added value for cost- and time-critical construction projects. The low weight of the panels also makes handling on the construction site considerably easier - a practical plus for projects with high logistical requirements.

 ALPOLIC™ panels are ideal for use in ventilated rainscreen cladding systems. They can be easily combined with all standard fixing and installation systems - for maximum flexibility in planning and realisation. ALPOLIC™ also offers comprehensive technical support: from detailed processing guidelines and system details to customised planning support - for safe, standard-compliant and cost-effective implementation down to the last detail.

The premium coatings used, such as LUMIFLON™ (FEVE) and HDP, not only guarantee exceptional colour brilliance, but also first-class UV and weather resistance. Even in demanding maritime climates, an integrated anti-corrosion coating provides reliable protection against environmental influences. Additional benefits such as colour consistency across all product variants, graffiti resistance and low maintenance costs underline the high quality standards - backed up by guarantees of up to 20 years.
