Exploring Fire-Retardant Aluminium Composite Panels

urban-landscape-skyscraper-japan_23-

The World is changing, and the consumer market is becoming more aware and more intelligent. Builders and architects design and construct buildings while keeping in mind safety and natural disasters. Many professional aluminium composite panel manufacturers in India have the option of FRP. Thus, fire safety becomes a critical aspect of building design and construction, and understanding the fire safety properties of aluminium composite panels manufactured in India is essential. Today, we bring you the basics of Fire-Resistant panels or FRP.

Let us Begin with Understanding what Fire-Resistant ACP's are:

1. Multi-storeyed and sky-rise buildings have been shaping the skylines of the cities for more than a decade now. Business parks and big official complexes have been thriving on the outskirts of metropolitan cities. This, in turn, has increased the use of facade elevation, which not only looks good but also comes with many benefits.
2. Aluminium composite panels are favoured by every architect and builder for the various benefits they bring. They are lightweight, easy to maintain, last long, add exterior beauty to any structure, can be moulded and shaped, and they can also be made fire-retardant. FRPs prevent the fire from spreading, keeping the people inside safe.
3. The basic difference between a normal ACP and a fire-resistant ACP sheet is the core made of a mineral filled materials like calcium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and the thickness of the sheet.

How Beneficial is a Fire-Rated ACP Sheet?

Let us understand what FRPs can do for us:

• The minerals used to make the core are known for their fire-retardant properties that can prevent the spread of flames and thus reduce smoke.
• They are manufactured under strict fire safety standards and also come with a certificate thus giving you the peace of mind for safety.
• They provide you with an added layer of safety.
• Some may also have insulation core material manufactured specifically to meet the safety requirements.
• Along with being safe these panels have the benefits of the basic aluminium composite sheets as well. They are malleable and aesthetically good-looking.

What about Building Codes and Regulations?

Architects and builders are well aware of the compliance with building codes and regulations along with the standards for fire safety in the buildings. Aluminium composite panel manufacturers of India ensure that their products are manufactured keeping in mind the compliance requirements.

It can Involve:

1. Specific fire-rating conditions.
2. Using fire-retardant core materials.
3. Integrating fire safety measures into building design and structure.

You may have this Question in Mind: How can Exterior FRPs help if the Fire Starts Indoors?

This question could baffle anyone looking into fire-rated panels for the exterior of buildings and structures. Well, if the intensity of the fire indoors increases leading to a flashover, the fire will definitely come out of the building and then start spreading to other floors which ends up making the situation worse.

An exterior facade that may not be fire-retardant could ignite because of a fire on a nearby building due to radiation effects. If the facade is a combustible material then it will also contribute to the spreading of the fire to other parts and floors of the building. Secondly , a non FRP facade may also end up producing more poisonous smoke that may end up injuring lives more than the actual fire.

Alstrong fire rated Aluminium Composite Panels are not only easily machinable and flexible but also gives an ultra-modern look to the buildings. Available in a wide range of colours, textures and pattern, Alstrong fire rated Aluminium Composite Panels adds a touch of beauty to every surface it is pasted on. The sheets can also be customized to design and budgetary requirements.

Three elements are needed in proper combination before ignition and combustion can take place:

1. Air for oxygen supply

2. Fuel to burn

3. Ignition temperature to start and continue with the combustion process.

Alstrong India understands that creating a sustainable earth is important to each and every person. The brand makes sure that the panels are composed of 100% recyclable materials which are minerals, aluminium and polymer. This helps a lot in conserving valuable resources of nature and making Alstrong panels a complete boon to the environment. These environment-friendly products fall in the acceptability for all green building projects.

The fire rated ACP can resist fire for upto 2 hours. The main difference between fire-rated ACP and normal ACP sheets is that both are ACP but with different core materials. The mineral core is made up of about 70% inorganic materials such as Calcium Hydroxide and Magnesium Hydroxide and 30% polymer. The core of the normal ACP is LDPE/HDPE minerals whereas the fire rated ACP is made of the specially formulated fire resistant mineral core.

Alstrong India is a professional and renowned aluminium composite panel manufacturer in India offering superior quality panels. It is a leader in the ACP industry. The ever-growing confidence of our clients is reflected in the increased production and offtake of our products.
