Why Choose ALPOLIC/fr

01

Fire-retardant ACM core

Two aluminium skins are bonded to a mineral-filled thermoplastic core to improve fire performance over standard polyethylene-core composite panels.

02

Large flat facade panels

The panel format supports clean contemporary layouts with excellent flatness and lower weight than comparable solid aluminium solutions.

03

Lumiflon FEVE finish system

Factory coil-coated Lumiflon FEVE finishes deliver strong colour retention, weather resistance, and consistent coating quality across broad finish ranges.

ALPOLIC/fr Overview

Fire-retardant aluminium composite material cladding

ALPOLIC/fr is a fire-retardant aluminium composite material developed for architectural cladding, including commercial facades, low-rise work, and curtain-wall applications. Manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Infratec Co., Ltd., it combines two aluminium skins with one of the more advanced fire-resistant core materials used in ACM panels.

Compared with solid aluminium panels, ALPOLIC/fr delivers strong flatness with reduced weight while still supporting the structural demands of large facade panels. Its coil-coated aluminium skins and precise factory manufacturing make it a reliable option for contemporary exterior design.
