Aluminum Composite Panel
Aluminum composite panel is a kind of new decorative material consisting of two thin coil-coated aluminum sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core, which is also known as Aluminum composite material in some area. Mostly it is called ACP or ACM for short.
The main structure of Aluminum composite panel:
- Top Aluminum Sheet coated with Polyester or PVDF paint
- Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) or Fireproof Core
- Bottom Aluminum Sheet with Primer
ACP
Feature
Aluminum composite panel is popular for its excellent performance like:
- Colorful design for decoration use
- Durable & Economic
- Light weight
- Easy on processing and installation
- Heat and sound insulation
- Easy maintenance
- Non-toxicity and Safety
- Super peeling strength
- Excellent coating property
Thus Aluminum composite panel is widely used in the building construction and advertising fields, such as:
Curtain wall, building cladding facade, exterior and interior construction decoration, Auto 4S shop, shop front decoration, display fabrication, signage, digital UV printing, sign board and so on.

Aluminum Composite Panel Specifications
| Property | Jinxiang ACP |
|---|---|
| Structure | Two coil-coated aluminum sheets bonded to a core |
| Thickness | 2 mm / 3 mm / 4 mm (custom on request) |
| Core | Low-density polyethylene (PE) or A2 fire-rated mineral core |
| Top coating | PVDF (fluorocarbon, >70% PPG resin) or polyester (Becker) |
| Back coating | Polyester primer or lacquer |
| Finishes | Solid RAL colors, metallic, wood, mirror, brushed metal |
| Width | Standard 1220–1500 mm; 2-meter-wide A2 line available |
| Fire rating | A2 (EN 13501-1), tested to NFPA 285; PE core for non-critical use |
| Factory | 18,000 m², 5 automatic coil coating lines |
A2 Fire-Rated vs PE-Core ACP — Which Do You Need?
| PE-Core ACP | A2 Fire-Rated ACP | |
|---|---|---|
| Core material | Low-density polyethylene | Mineral-filled, non-combustible |
| Fire behavior | Burns / melts under flame | Non-combustible (EN 13501-1 A2, NFPA 285) |
| Best for | Interior walls, ceilings, signage, retail fit-out | High-rise facades, public buildings, schools, hospitals |
| Cost | Economical | Higher (fire-rated core) |
| Typical spec | 4 mm PE, PVDF coated | 4 mm A2, PVDF coated, NOA on request |
Rule of thumb: if the panel goes on an exterior or public building where fire codes apply, specify A2. If it is interior or signage where local code allows, PE-core saves cost. For US coastal projects, we can support Miami-Dade NOA documentation on A2 lines.
Common ACP Applications
- Building facades and rainscreen cladding — flat, L-shaped, or bent panels
- Signage — sign faces, channel letters, cabinets, monuments
- Interior walls and partitions — offices, showrooms, retail
- Ceilings and canopies
- Columns and pilasters, window soffits
- Machine covers and OEM panels
Why Coating Quality Determines Panel Life
The coating is the first thing that fails on a cheap panel — fading, chalking, or delamination after 3–5 years. We avoid that by using high-quality raw materials only:
- PVDF resin from PPG (USA) — fluorocarbon content above 70%, the industry benchmark for 20+ year exterior durability
- Polyester from Becker Industrial Coatings (Sweden) — for interior and economy lines
- Pretreatment from Henkel and Chemetall (Germany) — corrosion protection before painting
- Aluminum substrate from Southwest Aluminum and Ruimin Aluminum (China) — consistent gauge and flatness
Our Production Lines and Quality Control
We are a factory, not a trader. Zhejiang Jinxiang Panel Industry Co., Ltd. was founded in October 1998 in Jinhua, Zhejiang, and runs an 18,000 m² plant with:
- 5 automatic coil coating lines (pre-treatment, continuous multi-coat, multi-bake)
- 1 two-meter-wide A2 fire-rated ACP composite line
- 3 continuous multi-coat/bake lines for aluminum coil
- CNC plate shears and press brakes for precision fabricated panels
We have been ISO9001 certified since 2002, hold engineering-recommended product status, and ship to over 70 countries and regions.

- Lead time: 10–15 days after deposit
- Shipping: FOB, CIF, or DDP door-to-door from Jinhua, Zhejiang
- Samples: sample kits available before first order
Aluminum Composite Panel FAQ
What is an aluminum composite panel (ACP)?
An aluminum composite panel (ACP or ACM) is a flat panel made of two thin coil-coated aluminum sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core, usually low-density polyethylene or a fireproof mineral core. It is lightweight, durable, and widely used for building facades, interior decoration, ceilings, and signage.
What is the difference between A2 fire-rated and PE-core ACP?
PE-core ACP has a polyethylene core and is economical. A2 fire-rated ACP uses a mineral-filled core meeting non-combustible standards such as EN 13501-1 A2 and NFPA 285, required for high-rise and public building cladding.
What thicknesses and colors are available?
We produce ACP in 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm thicknesses in any RAL or custom color. Coatings include PVDF (over 70% PPG resin) and polyester (Becker), with wood, mirror, and brushed-metal finishes available.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ is one standard container. Sample kits are available before a first order.
How do you ship to the US or EU, and what is the lead time?
We ship door-to-door (FOB, CIF, or DDP) from Jinhua, Zhejiang. Production lead time is typically 10–15 days after deposit, plus shipping time. We export to over 70 countries.
Do you provide fire test certificates or Miami-Dade NOA?
We provide ISO9001 certification, fire test reports for A2 panels, and engineering-recommended product certificates. Miami-Dade NOA documentation can be supported for US coastal projects on request.
