Modified ACM – ALPOLIC™/fr ALPOLIC is an Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) composed of aluminum skins and plastic core. After 3 decades in the market place, ALPOLIC had become known as one of the move suitable materials for external claddings of buildings, because of its lightweight, high rigidity, excellent flatness and long lasting coating qualities. Some regions of the world restrict the use of ACM because of its inflammable plastic core. To answer this problem, we devoted all of our energy to improving the core, establishing a production technology called ALPOLIC™/fr, a fire-retardant ACM. ALPOLIC/fr meets the fire-safety requirements for external claddings in most countries. Today, ALPOLIC/fr is the external cladding material of choice, ensuring fire safety without losing the original features of ALPOLIC

ALPOLIC™/fr, having excellent surface finishes with wide a variety of coating variations, fits to interior materials for shops, offices and factories. In addition, ALPOLIC™/fr LT is perfect for use on interior walls, columns, ceilings and partitions. It is excellent in flatness and workability, and enables a significant weight reduction by lightweight and simplifies the installation. We have high-gloss finishes, stone or timber-designs in the variation of ALPOLIC™/fr LT. As an option, conductive fluorocarbon-coated product is available, which is suitable for interior walls and partitions in factory.

ALPOLIC™ and ALPOLIC™/fr are weather-resistant and durable. They withstand severe atmospheric conditions and do not deteriorate for a long time. Therefore, ALPOLIC and ALPOLIC/fr have been used for such civil work fields as roof of pedestrian passage, lining of tunnels, cover of bridge beam, lining of underpass and other civil work fields. When it is used for roof of pedestrian passage, the durable fluorocarbon coating prevents color from fading for a long time. In case of tunnel and pedestrian underpass, the high-reflectance finish ensures a wide visibility of drivers and passers-by.

ALPOLIC™ and ALPOLIC™/fr are lightweight, rigid and easy to process. Furthermore, the surface finish extends to a wide variety of finishes. In Japan, ALPOLIC and ALPOLIC/fr have been employed for various parts in housing, including blind panels below handrail in balcony, indoor wall in pre-fabricated bathroom, sidewall panel of carport, and face panel of door.
