Exterior Wall Panels

JINXIANG Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) is distinguished in the market for its outstanding product attributes such as flatness, formability, durability and ease of fabrication, and is available in a broad palette of trend-forward colors and finishes. To help our clients build the future, we remain focused on inspiring the architectural community to create their legacy with the next generation of buildings.

Some regions of the world restrict the use of ACP because of its inflammable plastic core. To answer this problem, we devoted all of our energy to improving the core, establishing a production technology called JINXIANG/FR , a fire-retardant ACP. JINXIANG/FR meets the fire-safety requirements for external claddings in most countries. Today, JINXIANG/FR is the external cladding material of choice, ensuring fire safety without losing the original features of JINXIANG.

1. Building outer wall
The PVDF coating of YBOND product utilizes HYLR5000 or KYNAR500 as the binder, with unique advantage in the aspect of corrosion resistance, fouling resistance, and weather resistance. The attractive appearance of the ACP can be perfectly maintained in both winter and summer. Our product is widely employed as the decorative material for office building, exhibition hall, hotel, railway station, gymnasium, and so on. To fully meet customer demand, the color of the product can be customized according to the color card.

2. Filling station
The filling station has strict requirement on the decoration material because of the special service environment and the utilization frequency. Therefore, building material with outstanding acid resistance, alkali resistance, fire resistance , rust resistance, and blister resistance is well received in the construction of filling station. The aluminum composite panel and the NANO aluminum ceiling are ideal for signpost and ceiling decoration. Our product has passed certain certifications, including ISO, SGS , SGS-FR and INTERTEK , and some others .

Four decisions set an exterior panel:

• Coating — PVDF to AAMA 2605 for anything fully exposed; polyester only for sheltered positions. See PVDF-coated ACP.
• Core — FR-B1 or A2 wherever fire regulations apply to the facade. A standard PE core will not meet them.
• Skin — 0.30–0.50 mm aluminium for external panels; heavier skin for wind load and for routed-and-folded cassettes.
• Thickness — 4 mm is the standard facade panel; 6 mm where a flatter, stiffer panel is wanted.

Colour is matched to your RAL, Pantone or other reference. For the wider selection process, see how to choose ACP for a facade project.

Fire regulations on facades are written around the core, not the coating. The plastic core is what has driven restrictions on ACP cladding in a number of markets, which is why our exterior range is built on FR and A2 cores rather than standard PE. The A2 core is mineral-filled and classified to EN 13501-1 A2-s1,d0, and we run a dedicated 1.6-metre A2 composite line — the width that lets a facade panel be fabricated without a joint. See the A2 fire-rated ACP page and the core selection guide for which grade a project needs.

Three systems cover most facades. Rout-and-fold cassettes give a crisp panel with folded returns and a shadow gap, and are the usual choice for a high-specification rainscreen. Tray and rivet systems fix flat panels to a sub-frame with exposed or covered fixings, and are faster and cheaper. Bonded systems adhere the panel to a carrier. In every case the facade should be drained and ventilated behind the panel, with an expansion allowance at each joint and at the perimeter — a dark panel in full sun moves more than most people expect.

Zhejiang Jinxiang Panel Industry Co., Ltd. has manufactured aluminum composite panel in Jinhua, Zhejiang since 1998, in an 18,000 m² factory running 5 automatic coil coating lines and 3 continuous multi-coat and multi-bake coil lines. We have held ISO 9001 since 2002 and export to over 70 countries. Exterior panels are made in 4 mm and 6 mm, up to 1600 mm wide, on FR-B1 or A2 cores in the PVDF system, with a 1.6-metre A2 line for panels that have to run without a joint. Stock colours ship against a one-container MOQ; custom colours carry a 500 m² minimum per colour, with lead time normally 10–15 days after deposit.
