ALPOLIC™ A1

The No. 1 for building projects with the highest fire protection requirements: ALPOLIC™ A1

Description

ALPOLICTM A1 is a composite panel consisting of two 0.5 mm thick aluminium cover sheets and a non-combustible mineral core (3 mm). The core consists of almost 100% non-combustible ingredients and has a calorific value of less than 1 MJ/kg.  ALPOLICTM A1 is currently the only composite panel in the world that is classified for the highest fire protection class A1 according to DIN EN 13501-1. This means: non-combustible and also no smoke development in case of fire. A sustainable alternative to façade materials made of metal or other cladding.
 
Like all ALPOLICTM products, ALPOLICTM A1 is easy to process and shape, weather resistant, impact resistant and has a high degree of flatness. The front side is colour-coated with the high-quality fluoropolymer resin LUMIFLONTM (FEVE), making it highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, corrosion and colour fading.
 
ALPOLICTM A1 composite panels are particularly recommended for building projects where a very high level of fire protection or the use of non-combustible facade materials is prescribed – for example high-rise buildings or special buildings such as schools, hospitals, retirement homes etc.
