Why Choose DIBOND by 3A Composites

Lightweight with high rigidity

DIBOND combines two 0.3mm aluminium cover layers with a polyethylene core — delivering excellent dimensional stability, high rigidity, and low weight for large-format interior panels and signage applications.

Excellent processing parameters

DIBOND can be bent, routed, folded, and printed on using screen printing or direct-to-substrate digital printing. The absolutely flat surface is optimised for UV printing and photo mounting applications.

Stocked and distributed locally

Stock colours are held locally for fast turnaround. Additional colours and finishes are available on indent. Low thermal expansion and high corrosion resistance make DIBOND a durable long-term interior solution.
