Bending methods and installation techniques for fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels

Apr 02,2022


  The applications of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels are quite extensive, and often require edge bending. Today, we will explain how to properly perform edge bending on aluminum panels. Let's learn about the methods and installation techniques for edge bending fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels!

  First of all, everyone knows that the edge bending of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels is based on the premise that the aluminum foil is thick enough. The thicker the aluminum skin, the better the edge bending. Before bending the aluminum panel, it is necessary to use a groove cutting machine (trimming machine) to groove from the back of the aluminum panel before bending. The depth of the groove should be adjusted according to the thickness of the aluminum. Please shorten the blade first and try slowly until the aluminum skin does not appear. If the groove is too deep, the aluminum skin will be damaged and it will be easy to bend; if it is too shallow, the edge bending will be poor and prone to cracking.

  Cutting fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels: The tool generally used for cutting aluminum panels is a utility knife (blade knife). There are two types of cutting knives. One is called a sharp-tipped knife. U-shaped tools are less likely to scratch the aluminum skin, but the broken corners are not very straight. V-shaped cutting knives have very straight sharp corners and look beautiful.

  The edge bending of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels mainly depends on the aluminum skin. Many people misunderstand that raw rubber cannot be tightened, while cured rubber can. This is actually incorrect. Edge bending will remove the plastic in the middle, so the edge bending mainly depends on the thickness of the aluminum skin. Generally, the 8 pieces sold in the market fully meet the requirements for 90-degree right angle edge bending. The thickness of the aluminum skin used in Jixinxiang curtain wall can reach 50 lines. When the roller is arc-shaped, the back of the pipe bender must face up, and the rolling angle should be selected according to the construction requirements. The central core material of the aluminum panel has raw rubber and cured rubber; when rolling the arc, only cured rubber can be used, not raw rubber.

  Fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panel application: After cutting the aluminum panel, tear off the double-sided tape to make structural rubber. The seams need to be reinforced. After applying the structural rubber, start attaching the wooden boards. The first wooden board is very important. Align the bottom edge of the aluminum panel with the bottom edge of the steel structure, ensuring they do not misalign. (When attaching the wooden board, sew the uncut edge to make it more beautiful. When attaching the second piece, first align the corner of the bottom edge of the aluminum panel, press down on the corner, and firmly secure it.)

  Installation of fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panels:

  1. Work according to the actual center line and elevation points of the civil construction; the design of the modifier is based on the axis of the building, and the framework of the fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panel is composed of horizontal bars. After determining the position line of the vertical bars, the anchor points of the vertical bars are established.

  2. Install and fix the connecting parts, and after tensioning, use electric welding to fix the connecting parts, applying anti-rust paint at the welding points. The welding and fixing of the connecting parts to the embedded materials in the main structure can be done by opening holes in the main structure and installing expansion bolts to fix them to the connecting iron parts if no embedded iron parts are installed.

  3. Use the welding method of the installation framework to install the framework, checking the elevation and center line positions during installation. Additionally, perform anti-rust coating treatment on the cross-section connection welds. The fixed connecting parts should undergo concealed inspection records, including the welding length, thickness, position embedding elevation, quantity, and embedding depth.

  4. Install the fluorocarbon aluminum-plastic panel on the profile inner frame, first marking the position of the threaded holes, and using rivets to fix the aluminum panels one by one onto the steel frame; the gap between the panels should be 10-15, and organic silicone weatherproof sealant should be injected; it is strictly prohibited to tear off the packaging paper before installing the aluminum panels, and construction should follow the direction indicated by the arrows on the aluminum panels until the protective film is removed.

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.
