| Standard architectural panels | Two aluminum skins bonded to a polyethylene or mineral-filled core | 3 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm | Usually 0.15–0.50 mm aluminum skins; polyester or PVDF coating; solid, metallic, or wood-effect colors | Coating performance commonly evaluated under ASTM D3359, ASTM D2244, and ASTM D5894 | Commercial façades, parapets, canopies, partitions, and interior wall cladding |
| Fire-retardant and fire-resistant panels | Mineral-filled or non-combustible core designed to reduce flame spread and smoke development | 4 mm and 6 mm are common; project-specific thicknesses may be available | PVDF, FEVE, or anodized aluminum finishes; finish selection depends on exposure and fire-test requirements | EN 13501-1, ASTM E84, NFPA 285, and local façade-system requirements may apply | High-rise façades, transport hubs, hospitals, schools, and regulated public buildings |
| PVDF-coated exterior panels | Aluminum composite construction with a weather-resistant fluoropolymer coating | 3 mm and 4 mm are widely used for exterior cladding | 70% PVDF coatings are commonly specified for demanding exterior applications; multiple gloss levels and colors | AAMA 2605 is commonly referenced for high-performance organic coatings; color and gloss retention testing may be required | Curtain walls, rainscreens, feature façades, column covers, and coastal buildings |
| Interior decoration panels | Lightweight composite core optimized for cutting, routing, folding, and decorative installation | 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm | Polyester, anodized-look, brushed-metal, stone-look, wood-look, and digital-print surfaces | Surface adhesion, abrasion, impact, and dimensional-stability tests are commonly requested | Retail interiors, reception areas, elevator surrounds, signage, ceilings, and exhibition displays |
| Signage and display panels | Rigid, flat aluminum composite board suitable for direct printing, laminating, or vinyl application | 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm | White, brushed, mirror, matte, and digital-print-ready surfaces | Flatness, ink adhesion, surface energy, and outdoor weathering should be verified for the intended print system | Outdoor signs, directional boards, retail graphics, traffic signs, and temporary displays |
| High-formability panels | Flexible composite construction selected for routing, grooving, bending, and cassette fabrication | 3 mm and 4 mm are typical | Commonly supplied with polyester or PVDF finishes; skin alloy and temper affect bending performance | Bending radius, peel strength, shear strength, and bond integrity should be confirmed by project testing | Column wrapping, curved façades, folded panels, shopfronts, and customized building details |
| PVDF and FEVE color-customization panels | Exterior-grade aluminum composite panel with customized fluoropolymer color formulation | 3 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm | Custom colors matched to RAL, Pantone, or approved project samples; metallic and textured effects may be available | Color difference, gloss, adhesion, chalking, and accelerated weathering tests are commonly specified | Corporate façades, branded environments, premium residential projects, and landmark buildings |
| Sustainable and recycled-content panels | Composite panels incorporating recycled aluminum or recycled-content core materials, subject to project specification | 3 mm and 4 mm are common; thickness depends on structural and fire requirements | Coating options may include polyester, PVDF, or other certified low-impact finishes | Environmental Product Declarations, recycled-content verification, ISO 14001 processes, and project-specific green-building criteria may apply | Green-certified buildings, public projects, commercial developments, and projects with embodied-carbon targets |
