Aluminium composite panel

Overview

​LIKEAIR aluminium composite panel consists of a polyethylene core and two aluminium skins (each 0.5 mm thick) for exterior and interior cladding on new building and renovation applications. Meeting the strict Australian fire and sound transmission requirements. Likeair® enhances the design and applications for modern projects.

SURFACE FINISH
Our panel is manufactured utilising state of art continuous coil coating technology. The three-coat and three-bake paint process ensures each panel has high quality flurocarbon PVDF coating (polyvinylidene fluoride resin) with a minimum thickness of 25 micron.

The panel has excellent durability and weatherability and is resistant to extreme weather elements and industrial pollutions.

Customer can choose from a wide range of standard and metallic colours. Customised colour can be ordered and subjected to minimum quality.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Aluminium composite panel is a lightweight but rigid material. It is reasistant to blows, breakage and pressure and has high bending, buckling and breaking strengths. (Details can be retrieve from "Technical Information".
Key benefits include: 
  • High formability and stability 
  • Diversity of brilliant colours 
  • Excellent weather resistance 
  • Individual design and easy processing 
  • Lightweight and large panel sizes 
  • Internationally proven and recognised fire performance

FIRE BEHAVIOUR
Our panel's non-inflammable aluminium cover sheets protect the plastic core and is a material with low combustibility.

CSIRO has conducted a fire test on LIKEAIR aluminium composite panel in accordance with AS1530.3:1999 - Early Fire Hazard. The results can be retrieve under Technical Information.

PRODUCT CARE AND MAINTENANCE

​Protective Plastic Film
Likeair aluminium composite panel coated surface is protected by a factory applied peel-off plastic film. It is recommended that the protective plastic film be removed within 45 days after installation.

Product Fabrication and Installation
Despite the coated surface is protected by the peel-off plastic film, it is recommended that every care shall be exercised to avoid the coated surface being scratched by sharp objects during fabrication and installation. Where possible machine tool shall have suction hose attached to remove aluminium fragments during fabrication.

Directional Colour Appearance
For uniform colour appearance and to avoid possible reflection differences it is recommended that panels be installed in the same direction. This can be achieved by the orientation point arrow shown on the peel-off plastic film of the individual panels running parallel to each other.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Likeair aluminium composite panel has excellent weatherability and is resistant to industrial pollutions. It is recommended to wash the surface of the panel with a solution of clean water and mild household dishwashing detergent to remove soils built up during normal weathering on a regular basis. The frequency of the cleaning depends on the degree of soiling of the building
