alucore-panel

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!

Lacquering


Over lacquering of stove lacquered ALUCORE surfaces of polyester lacquer quality (panels not exposed to weather conditions)
Aluminium treatment and priming carried out at the factory in a continuous process with continuous quality control is advantageous to the over lacquering of the stove lacquered ALUCORE® surface.
ALUCORE® over lacquering procedure:
  • Pre-cleaning of the panels using methylated spirit
  • Grinding the surfaces with wet abrasive paper (grain size 360)
  • Removing grinding dust with a lint free cloth moistened with spirit
  • For the topcoat, please follow the instructions of the topcoat supplier.
Please note:
  • The maximum permissible temperature of the material (ALUCORE® panels) must not exceed 70°C when applying fast-drying methods. During the drying process at high temperatures the ALUCORE® panels must be positioned or stored with great care to prevent deforming.
  • ALUCORE® cut edges should not be in contact with organic solvents for a prolonged period of time to avoid weakening the bond.
  • ALUCORE® panels lacquered or over lacquered at a later stage should not be bent or folded. The lacquer in the bends or folds may be damaged due to the low elasticity of the topcoat.
  Please conduct a test prior to over lacquering and follow the instructions of the lacquer suppliers.

Lacquering of mill finished ALUCORE® surfaces

The composition of lacquer coating for ALUCORE® is basically the same as those for mill finished aluminium surfaces. It is advisable to be familiar with coating systems and materials as well as working methods for aluminium.
