The Fire-Retardant A1 Aluminium Composite Panels are fully non-combustible
Metal Plast Industries, a fully-owned subsidiary of the diversified multinational business conglomerate Mulk Holdings International, has successfully developed Fire-rated A1 grade Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) core and a proprietary bonding system exclusively for Alubond A1, which will reduce the spread of fire in high-rise buildings globally, the company recently announced via a press communiqué.
“In a major breakthrough, we have started manufacturing Alubond A1 Fire-Retardant ACPs that will reduce and stop fire incident in civil structures and save properties and lives across the world,” affirmed Adnan Ul Mulk, Founder, Metal Plast Industries and Vice-Chairman, Mulk Holdings International.
Metal Plast Industries is the first company in the Middle East and Europe to be manufacturing A1 cores. The company has started offering live demonstration of their A1 core manufacturing capability to global experts and buyers in their expansive facility located in Hamriyah Free Zone in Sharjah, UAE, where the new A1 core was tested to achieve below 1 MJ/Kg heat release – an industry benchmark.
Metal Plast Industries’ dedicated Research and Development team, led by Rajiv Ranjan Jha, worked to develop the game-changing Alubond A1 Fire-Retardant Core meeting international and UAE Fire Code standards.
Some of the currently popular construction materials with an A1 grade used in exterior facades are Natural stone and solid metal. A composite panel of 4mm with two layers of aluminium skin bonded to an inner core of minerals to achieve A1 standards has always been a dream of the industry.
Alubond is the world’s largest ACP (aluminium composite panels) and MCM (metal composite material) Brand with over 25mn sqm of manufacturing and processing capacity with manufacturing facilities in Europe, UAE, Turkey, Oman and India. The newest addition, the A1 core, is a further proof of excellence and innovation.
The New production bases of Mulk Enpar Investments in Sri Lanka and Saudi Arabia increased the installed production capacity of metal composite panels to over 15,000,000 sqm and coil coating capacity to over 20,000 tons per annum making Alubond USA the world’s Largest Metal Composite Brand!
