    ALPOLIC/fr is an aluminum composite material used for exterior and interior cladding. It has a non-combustible mineral-filled core sandwiched between two 0.5mm thick aluminum alloy skins. Its surface is finished with a Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating.

    The four finishes available for ALPOLIC/fr are Solid Colors, Metallic Colors, Sparkling Colors, and Stone-Timber-Metal Series.

    Standard panel thicknesses are 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm. Width ranges from 965-1575mm and length is less than 7200mm. Tolerances on width, length, and thickness are specified.

    Summary of specification data - ALPOLIC®/fr

    1. General
    ALPOLIC®/fr is an aluminum composite material (ACM) with a non-combustible mineral-filled core,
    used as an exterior and interior cladding and roof covering on new buildings and retrofit applications.
    The material is manufactured by Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc., and furnished by approved dealers or
    distributors.

    Note: This summary of specification data is about ALPOLIC/fr. If you need specifications of
    ALPOLIC composed of polyethylene core and mainly used for signage, contact local distributors or
    our office.

    Specification data may be changed in part without affection of material quality.

    2. Product composition
    ALPOLIC/fr is composed of a non-combustible mineral-filled core sandwiched between two skins of
    0.5mm thick aluminum alloy (3105-H14):

    Composition Skin material: 0.5mm thick aluminum alloy (3105-H14)


    Core material: Non-combustible mineral filled core

    The surface is finished with a high-performance Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating as standard, and
    the back is a wash coating or service coating. ALPOLIC/fr is available in four finishes: Solid Colors,
    Metallic Colors, Sparkling Colors and Stone-Timber-Metal Series. In these finishes, Lumiflon-based
    fluorocarbon paints are applied in manufacturer’s continuous coil coating lines.

    The back of ALPOLIC/fr, which will face the structural wall or steel when it is installed as a cladding
    panel, has a polyester-based wash coating or a service coating to protect it from possible corrosion
    problems.

    The surface is protected with a self-adhesive peel-off protective film consisting of two polyethylene
    layers of white and black. According to weathering tests under normal outdoor conditions, the
    protective film will withstand six months’ exposure without losing its original peel-off characteristic or
    causing stains or other damages.

    6. Paint finish
    (1) Coating system
    The surface is finished with Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating as standard; the back is a wash
    coating or service coating. ALPOLIC/fr is available in four finishes: Solid Colors, Metallic Colors,
    Sparkling Colors and Stone-Timber-Metal Series. In these finishes, Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon
    paints are applied in the manufacturer’s coil coating lines. The coating system of each finish is:

    3
    A. “Solid Colors” are a two-coat two-bake system.
    The total dry film thickness is 25 microns (0.98 mils) minimum and consists of a conversion
    coating, an inhibitive primer and a Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating.
    B. “Metallic Colors” and “Sparkling Colors” are a three-coat three-bake system.
    The thickness is 28 microns (1.1 mils) minimum and consists of a conversion coating, an inhibitive
    primer, a Lumiflon-based metallic coating and clear coating.
    C. “Stone-Timber-Metal Series” is coated with a unique image transfer process.
    The thickness is 45 microns (1.77 mils) minimum and consists of a conversion coating, an
    inhibitive primer and a Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating including the image transfer layer.

    Note 1: Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon coating has a coating warranty for 10 years.


    Note 2: ALPOLIC/fr is finished with Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon paint as standard, but polyester
    and other coatings are also available as an option.

    (2) Color and gloss
