ALUCORE® is an innovative aluminium composite panel consisting of two aluminium cover sheets and a honeycomb core of aluminium.
Boasting the globally recognised ALUCOBOND® trademark, ALUCORE® is also a composite material that can be used for a wide variety of applications from the transport industry to architecture, and has fantastic properties such as extraordinary flatness, a large variety of colours, and high formability.
The product’s aluminium honeycomb core gives the composite panel a high rigidity and an extremely low weight. ALUCORE® therefore has a definite advantage when it comes to projects with high demands on material stiffness – such as façade cladding or roofing where it will be exposed to an extremely high wind load, or for large self-supporting roofs.
ALUCORE® – the first lightweight panel that is a bond for life!

Double-sided tapes (such as the 3M-VHB high capacity jointing systems) can be used for the above applications with low tensile or transversal strength requirements. Velcro tapes are available for detachable joints, for example SCOTCHMATE or tapes marketed under the Dual Lock trademark.
Adhesive sealing compounds
For high-strength and elastic connections we recommend the following one-component adhesive sealing compound: Sika Bond-T2 (polyurethane base). For outdoor use, this adhesive can be used for fastening parts of minor static importance.
Metal adhesives/Universal adhesives
For indoor use, trade fair/exhibition stand structures, machines, etc. most metal or universal adhesives are suitable.
Important:
Please observe the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the application and use of adhesives/tapes. Laminating of ALUCORE® panels to other materials may result in deformation of the laminates (differing expansion/bimetal effect).
