ALUCODUAL® is a pre-coated engineered solid sheet comprising 2/3 layers of laminated aluminium skins. This ensures perfect flatness, which is challenging to achieve with standard post coated solid sheets.

The product undergoes a multi-coat, multi-bake process on a continuous industrial-grade coil coating line, utilizing the highest grade of fluorocarbon based PVDF/FEVE paint system as per AAMA 2605 superior performance specification for exterior to ensure long-term performance and durability.

This structural stability allows for their use in larger cassettes and panels, effectively reducing number of joints and overall costs. Additionally, the material’s workability in achieving 3D shapes and complex geometric patterns makes it highly versatile for various architectural applications.

One of the key features of ALUCODUAL® is its fire-retardant property. Since it doesn’t have a thermo-plastic core, it remains inactive in the event of a fire, emitting no toxic gases or burning droplets. It is classified as Class A2-s1, d0 according to EN-3501-1 test standard, making it suitable for projects with stringent fire safety requirements.

ALUCODUAL® is used for facades, wall cladding, soffits, column cladding and decorative interior walls in various projects like airports, stadiums, malls and residential buildings. It fulfills fire safety needs while providing flexibility, making it a reliable choice for architects and designers to create visually appealing facades.

LEED Certification

The LEED program has gained much recognition over the past several years and is now the premier sustainability design tool in the building industry. LEED focuses on constructing buildings that have minimal impact on the environment during construction and occupation and acknowledges that using recycled materials is an essential part of reducing environmental deterioration.

An external cladding system using ALUCODUAL® acts as a barrier against solar radiation. The ventilated space between the ALUCODUAL® panels and the wall or the thermal insulation reduces heat transmission.

The rear-ventilated cladding system using ALUCODUAL® protects the wall of the building from high and rapid temperature changes. Moisture can pass through the wall. The building structure remains dry.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”7250″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/edgtf_accordion_tab][edgtf_accordion_tab title=”Product Range”][vc_column_text]

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Annual cleaning is recommended. The surfaces should be cleaned either manually using a soft brush or by means of a high-pressure cleaner (maximum 50 bar) with clean water. If necessary, a mild cleaning agent (pH 6-7) may be added up to a maximum of 10%. Cleaning should take place from top to bottom. After cleaning, rinse with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residue. Do not clean surfaces heated by the sun (>40°C).

Do not use highly alkaline cleaning agents such as potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, caustic soda, any strong acid products or highly abrasive cleaning agents such as household cleaning products that can corrode the paint.

STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION

To protect ALUCODUAL® panels against mechanical damages and harmful effects of weather the following should be observed:

• Ensure careful handling of pallets during transport and unloading.
• Examine the pallets throughly upon arrival for any damages due to transportation.
• Stack only three pallets of similar dimensions horizontally above one another with the heaviest at the bottom. Do not let the panels stand vertically
