Product information ALPOLICTM – high-quality aluminium composite panels for architecture ALPOLICTM is a brand of the Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation and has been setting trends and standards for building architecture with is exceptional quality products for more than 45 years. ALPOLICTM aluminium composite panels consist of two aluminium sheets which are applied to a mineral core. They are manufactured in a coilcoating process using the most stringent safety and requirements. These are the only panels in the industry that are almost 100% recyclable. In terms of fire protection they provide...

ALPOLIC™ / fr: aluminium composite panels, fire-retardant ALPOLIC™/ fr aluminium composite panels comprising two 0.5 mm thick aluminium panels and a fire-retardant, mineral polymer core (FR). The total thickness is 3, 4 or 6 mm. The front side is coated with a high-quality LUMIFLONTM-based fluoropolymer paint (FEVE) and covered with a removable protective film. The rear side is coated with a primer base coat. ____ Fluoropolymer paint (LUMIFLON™] — Aluminium 0.5 mm — High flame retardant filled core 2.0 - 5.0 mm — Aluminium 0.5 mm Service coating Total thickness: 3, 4 or 6 mm ALPOLIC™ A2:...

HANDLING, TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE In order to protect ALPOLICTM A2 and ALPOLICTM / fr against mechanical damages caused by transport, storage or handling, the following precautions must be noted. unpacking and repacking the panels, they should be handled in a clean place. • hen stacking or packing the panels, nothing should W be put between them to avoid markings on their surfaces. • hen processing the panels, they should not be handled W on the floor but on a work table. • hen carrying the panels, they should always be handled W by two people. Carry the panels vertically. • hen fabricating...

Reflective direction, protective film Reflective direction Horizontal direction Direction arrows are indicated on the protective film of the ALPOLICTM composite panels which specify the reflective direction. • ay P attention to the reflective direction so that no difference in brightness occurs in the overall surface when several panels are arranged on the same level. • n the case of composite panels with a granite or marble I design, the reflective direction must be broken so that the pattern is not repeated. To do so, turn the respective following composite panel by 90°. Vertical...

Cassette systems Suspension in bolts and plastic sleeve Cassette systems vertikal Ø 8 mm bolt with Ø 12 mm plastic sleeve The cassettes must be fastened at the longitudinal edges by means of the following subframe on bolts: ALPOLICTM panels with an aluminium sheet thickness of 3 mm Bolts The bolts suspending the above materials are specified as follows: • 8 mm bolts made of A4 stainless steel with Ø Ø 12 x 1.9 Nylon (PA66) sleeves • 10 mm bolts made of A4 stainless steel without sleeves Ø Corner connector The following materials have to be used as the corner connector of the cassettes: •...

Substructures The support profiles of the substructures for the rivet systems must be aluminum profiles with a thickness of at least 2.0 mm with a tensile strength Rm s 245 N / mm2 and an elastic limit RP 0.2 s 200 N / mm2 (alloy EN AW-6063 T66 in accordance with DIN EN 755-2). Specifications for riveted systems Following details are specified in riveted systems. Fixed and sliding points When attaching ALPOLIC™ composite panels, ensure that there is sufficient allowance for expansion and create fixed and sliding points. Fixed points Take into account at least one fixed point. 10 | ALPOLIC™...

Blind rivets For fastening the ALPOLICTM panels to the above connector, the following blind rivet must be used: Aluminium blind rivet with Ø 5 mm with Ø 11, Ø 14 or Ø 16 mm stainless steel mandrel shaft Supplier: Gesipa / SFS • MBE GmbH • Ipex GmbH • Installation of riveted systems ALPOLICTM panels can be fastened to the substructure by the blind rivet. To prevent tension from occurring at the riveting point, following techniques are specified. Special-purpose gauge tip Note: To avoid galvanic corrosion on ALPOLICTM composite panels, all rivets, screws or nuts used for the connection must...

Distance from the edges The distance from the rivet to the panel edges must be at least 16 mm. Panel gaps The width of the gaps between the panels must be limited to max. 20 mm. Thermal expansion and contraction The influence of thermal expansion on all the components of each facade system must be considered. For examples, in riveted system, the expected thermal expansion has to be absorbed at each riveted point with the specified diameters. Linear thermal expansion coefficient Material Extreme temperature and installation temperature In accordance with DIN 18516-1, the extreme temperatures...
