Smart Fire-Rated Cladding Option

PSP Limited and Mitsubishi's global leadership in Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) technology now offers Alpolic, with a newly developed non-combustible mineral filled core that is lightweight and meets various fire code requirements.

The continuous laminating process combines aluminium skins with the core, resulting in superior flatness and a 0.5/0.5 aluminium skin. Plus, the unique technology of coil coating provides the best quality of colour uniformity, with no surface grain lines.

While Alpolic is resistant to reasonable impact loads due to its unique composition, it is also incredibly formable. Cutting, curving, routing, grooving and other procedures are easy with aluminium/woodworking machines.

Alpolic is ideal for commercial, high-rise and curtain wall cladding.
