Interior ALPOLIC®
Features
Lightweight and Rigid
Interior ALPOLIC® is a light and strong sheet material. With the light specific gravity of 1.2 it can reduce weight by 40% compared with solid aluminum sheet and by 70% of stainless steel with the equivalent rigidity.
Continuous laminating process to laminate aluminum skins and core material provides the excellent flatness of the panel free of distortion and deflection.
Cutting, bending, curving and other procedures are easily accomplished with aluminum working or wood working machines.
Compared with calcium silicate board and gypsum board, Interior ALPOLIC® cannot be cracked and broken because of lamination with aluminum skins and visco-elastic high molecular resin.
Compared with other materials of the same weight (steel, aluminum, plywood, etc.) Interior ALPOLIC ® has a larger sound transmission loss.
The coatings are applied with a continuous coil coating line, and consistent coating quality and hence, high performance can be expected in corrosion resistance and weather-ability in ALPOLIC ® PC Series and ALPOLIC ® PC Stone Series, which can be applied for moist rooms.
Interior ALPOLIC ® has a good thermal insulation effect due to the core material of high molecular resin.

Exterior ALPOLIC®/fr
Features
Superior Flatness
The continuous laminating process that combines 0.5 mm thick aluminum skins with the core material results in excellent flatness of the panel.
The unique technology of the coil coating process provides the best quality of color uniformity, and no visible surface grain lines.
A light and strong sheet material with an apparent specific gravity of 1.2 to 2.0, reducing weight by 40% (ALPOLIC®) to 15% (ALPOLIC®/fr) compared with solid aluminum sheet with equivalent rigidity.
ALPOLIC®/fr and ALPOLIC® are resistant to reasonable impact loads due to the unique composite composite construction of strong aluminum skins bonded to a viscoelastic core.
Cutting, bending, curving, routing, grooving and other procedures are easily accomplished with aluminum working or woodworking machines.
ALPOLIC®/fr meets fire code requirements because of its non-combustible mineral filled core.
