Common Knowledge about Fluorocarbon Aluminum Plastic Panels

Mar 18,2022


  The use of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels is quite extensive, and in most cases, edge folding is required. Let's learn about the common knowledge of using fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels!

  First of all, everyone knows that the edge folding of aluminum foil is based on the premise that the aluminum foil is thick enough. The thicker the aluminum sheet, the better the edge fold. It is recommended to create a groove from the back of the aluminum sheet before folding the edge. Otherwise, it will be impossible to tighten it. The depth of the cut is adjusted according to the thickness of the aluminum. Try slowly until the aluminum sheet looks exposed. If you deepen it, it will be easier to tighten.

  Additionally, there is the choice of the blade tip. The blade tips come in U-shape and V-shape. The U-shaped blade tip is less likely to scratch the aluminum sheet, but the folded corners are not very straight. The V-shaped blade tip has sharp and straight corners, which look nice, but the aluminum sheet is easily damaged and can easily crack. Generally, a 6# blade tip is sufficient for a 4mm aluminum sheet.

  Moreover, the edge folding of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels mainly depends on the aluminum sheet. Many people misunderstand that raw rubber cannot be folded, while cured rubber can be folded, but this is incorrect. The purpose of edge folding is to remove the plastic in the middle, and it mainly depends on the thickness of the aluminum sheet. Generally, the best-selling products in the market that are over 6 bottles fully meet the 90-degree edge folding requirements. In the case of rolling arcs, it is necessary to choose the edge folding angle with the back facing up, and the middle core material of the aluminum sheet is divided into raw rubber and the core material of the folded edge panel.

  Please pay attention to the following points during the installation and use of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels:

  1. Please store or set fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels in a dry and ventilated place to avoid water accumulation, and the environmental temperature should also be below 70 degrees. Do not place them in harsh environments such as smoke, strong winds, radiation, harmful gases, and chemical substances.

  2. When transporting or storing fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels, they need to be laid flat. When handling, all four edges of the panel must be lifted simultaneously; do not drag it to one side to avoid damaging the panel surface.

  3. When opening grooves, use round-headed or 90-degree V-shaped flat-toothed saws or milling grooves. To improve strength and toughness and prevent hydrogenation of the aluminum sheet, a plastic core board with a thickness of 0.2-0.3mm should be bent together with the panel. If the corners are suddenly bent or excessively cut, it can damage the aluminum sheet, or if the remaining plastic is too thick, the aluminum sheet may break at the bent edge, and the coating film may crack.

  4. When bending the edges, apply force evenly and do not bend repeatedly. This can damage the aluminum panel.

  5. To maintain the flatness of the fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels and improve wind resistance, it is necessary to line the skeleton and paste rubber and panels after bending the aluminum-plastic panels.

  6. When decorating curved surfaces, do not align the position step by step. The bending radius must be more than 30cm. Please use bending equipment to bend the aluminum sheet, applying force slowly to gradually achieve the desired curve.

  7. To avoid color differences from viewing angles, the aluminum sheets should be installed on the same plane in the same flow direction.

  8. After installing the fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels, please remove the protective film within 45 days to prevent aging of the protective film. Peeling off the film may cause adhesive residue.

  9. To ensure the service life, do not place the inner wall panels outdoors.

  10. If the surface of the panel is contaminated during construction or use, clean it with a neutral detergent. Do not use strong acids or strong alkalis for cleaning, as they can damage the panel surface.

Talk about the lightning protection features and fire safety characteristics of curtain wall aluminum panels.

The characteristics of lightning protection for curtain wall aluminum panels have been a topic of ongoing debate in the industry. Manufacturers of fluorocarbon coated aluminum panels have found that people often assume aluminum panels are made of pure aluminum, which has better conductivity. Regarding this issue, a test was conducted in a biological laboratory in Germany using two types of raw materials to test their resistance to lightning strikes. The results showed that at the moment of a lightning strike, regardless of whether aluminum composite panels or aluminum single panels were used, the curtain wall interface method could completely prevent electric shock. When subjected to lightning current, melting can easily occur at the lightning strike points on the metal or metallic surface, while plastic aluminum panels are mixed, providing relatively better lightning protection.

What should be noted for the daily maintenance and repair of exterior aluminum-plastic panels?

Aluminum-plastic panels, also known as metal composite panels, are a composite material made of aluminum and high-density polyethylene, with high-pressure polyethylene serving as the core and spray-coated aluminum alloy as the surface material. Aluminum-plastic panels have many excellent characteristics in their applications, such as good decorative art, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, fireproofing, waterproofing, sound insulation, and thermal insulation, making them very effective in various industrial and daily life applications. However, all types of panels require regular maintenance. Below, we will introduce what to pay attention to in the daily maintenance of aluminum-plastic panels!

The following introduces the thickness requirements and characteristics of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels.

Generally, when fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels are used as wall panels, the thickness of the wood does not need to be too emphasized, as there is a layer of wall blocking it. At this time, more consideration should be given to the application effect of the architectural curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels, such as measuring the total width of the wall to choose the total width of the architectural curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels, making it more aesthetically pleasing. As long as it ensures beauty and practicality, more people will choose architectural curtain wall aluminum-plastic panels.
