Known across the world as ‘the original’ ALUCOBOND® has been the market leader in aluminium composite panels since 1969.
ALUCOBOND® is known for its incredible properties, such as extraordinary flatness, a large variety of colours, and perfect formability. It has been developed to be both a rigid and flexible fascia material for architecture and is extremely weatherproof, impact-resistant, and break-proof, vibration-damping, and ensures easy and fast installation.
As a light composite material consisting of two aluminium cover sheets and a plastic core, this incredibly versatile product is also preferred in areas other than architecture – such as corporate design – and is widely used in industry and transportation.
ALUCOBOND® sold over a million sq.m of cladding material worldwide and has been awarded with numerous international prizes.

- The minimum required radius is r = 10 x t (t = panel thickness).
- The spring-back effect of ALUCOBOND® is greater than that of a solid aluminium sheet.
- The die edges should be rounded and smooth.
- To prevent damage to the panel surface, protective foil must not be removed while bending.
- Additionally, the visible surface can be protected by using plastic pads of 1-2 mm thickness.
- Ideal die width: 2 x t + 2 x protective foil thickness + punch diameter + 15 mm
- Before scaled-up production, testing on the sample panels is recommended.
