  TECHNOPANEL FRPE‐ACP SPECIFICATION 

I. Product Description 

TECHNOPANEL  Fire‐Retardant  Aluminum  Composite  Panel  (FR‐ACP)  is  a  high  performance 

product  consisting  of  two  sheets  of  aluminum  bonded  to  each  side  of  a  halogen‐free  fire‐
retardant PE core. It is suitable to use for exterior and interior wall cladding applications or for 
buildings  under  renovation  that  are  designed  to  reduce  the  risk  of  structural  fire.  It  has  the 
capability  of  reducing  flame  spread  for  a  specified  intensity  and/or  duration,  low  smoke  and 
delays heat penetration across on it. 

II. Product Composition 

TECHNOPANEL FR‐ACP is basically composed of the following materials: 

 
PVDF Coating

  Aluminum 0.5 mm

Fire Retardant Polyethylene (FRPE) Core

 

  Aluminum 0.5 mm
Polyester Coating
 
 

1.  POLYVINYLIDENE  DIFLUORIDE  (PVDF)  COATING  –  paint    for  the  front  aluminum  sheet  with 
high  non‐reactive  and  pure  flouropolymer  coating  used  in  applications  requiring  the  highest 
purity, strength, resistance to solvents, acids, bases and heat, and low smoke generation during 
a fire event. PVDF is not susceptible to attack by UV light, so the resin does not break down on 
exposure  to  sunlight  which  gives  a  very  high  resistance  to  fading,  chalking  and  long‐term 
retention of gloss and color. 
 
Note: For other test values on coating properties, do refer to page 4. 
 
2. ALUMINUM SHEETS ‐ two sheets of aluminum that is bonded to each side of a fire retardant 
polyethylene core. They have excellent tensile strength, yield strength and elongation rate and 
with high resistance to corrosion. 
 
 
Type of Alloy  3003 
 
  Thickness  0.50 mm

  TECHNOPANEL FRPE‐ACP SPECIFICATION 

 
 
3. HALOGEN‐FREE FIRE‐RETARDANT CORE – the main core of TECHNOPANEL FR‐ACP that it has 
the capability of reducing flame spread for a specified intensity and/or duration, low smoke and 
delays heat penetration across it. It acts as a thermal insulation barrier where the role is to turn 
polymer into a char, which separates the flame from the material. 

There  are  two  important  components  that  can  be  used  as  a  fire  retardant  core  for  polymer 
applications.  These  components  decompose  at  high  temperatures  absorbing  considerable 
amounts of heat in the process. In addition to behaving as a fire retardant, it is very effective as 
a smoke suppressant when applied to polymers such as polyethylene. 

The two components are: 

Mg (OH)2  Magnesium Hydroxide or  AL (OH)3  Aluminum Hydroxide 

In  addition  to  the  performance  of  the  FRPE  core,  it  is  Halogen‐free  that  limits  the  use  of 
hazardous substances on the product. The drive for creating these products is associated with 
the green movement as well as health concerns. When fire breaks out and harmful substances 
contained in plastics are ignited, toxic fumes are released into the surrounding area. Therefore, 
compliance with these directives is important in the preservation of life and the environment. 

4.  POLYESTER  COATING  –  a  seven  micrometer  (7µm)  polyester‐based  coating  for  the  back 
aluminum sheet that serves as an aid in protecting TECHNOPANEL FR‐ACP from risks of exposure 
to corrosion on the back surface of the panel after installation. 
 
 
 
5. PROTECTIVE FILM ‐ The decorative surface is being covered by an 80 micrometer thick self‐
adhesive protective film to protect it from scratch and any possible damages during processing, 
storage  and  installation.  It  is  composed  of  two  layers,  the  White  surface  with  TECHNOPANEL 
logo  on  the  outer  side  to  deflect  ultraviolet  rays  and  the  Black  surface  from  the  inner  side  to 
prevent ultraviolet rays from penetrating the inner surface.
