What is the lifespan of fluorocarbon aluminum panels? How long is it?

Oct 19,2022


    To understand the lifespan of fluorocarbon aluminum panels, one must first understand the factors that affect their lifespan. The following points summarize these factors:

    1. Good standards for fluorocarbon aluminum panels.

    1. Quality of raw materials; different materials include pure aluminum alloy and aluminum-magnesium alloy, which are also influencing factors.

    2. Production technology; the production process includes the cost of new and old machines, some of which are manual machines. Advanced, professional, and fast machines save time and money compared to manual labor. Aluminum panels with good production processes have better quality.

    3. Surface treatment; for fluorocarbon aluminum panels, there are genuine fluorocarbon coatings and fake fluorocarbon coatings. Genuine fluorocarbon coatings are more expensive, but high-quality brand fluorocarbon coatings are even more costly, while fake fluorocarbon coatings are equivalent to ordinary powder coatings.

    4. Packaging; packaging is also part of the cost. Some manufacturers pay special attention to repackaging. This not only prevents damage to aluminum panels during transportation but also ensures aesthetics and brand reputation.

    2. Reasons for poor quality fluorocarbon aluminum panels.

    1. Although cheap aluminum panels may seem expensive, the processing technology is much more complex. This leads to poor paint coverage on the aluminum panel surface, resulting in a thin paint film. Some aluminum panel manufacturers even use processed fluorocarbon coatings to deceive consumers.

    2. After aluminum panels are shaped through sheet metal processing, they need to undergo pretreatment, which is essential. Without this process, the sprayed paint may peel off.

    3. During baking, if the temperature in the spray booth or the baking time does not meet standards, it is also a major reason for paint peeling on the surface of fluorocarbon aluminum panels.

    3. Analyzing the lifespan of fluorocarbon aluminum panels.

    1. Fluorocarbon finishes are only used outdoors, as no one would choose fluorocarbon as a finish indoors; it is not cost-effective! Good fluorocarbon aluminum panels can last 15-30 years outdoors, but if you buy poor-quality fluorocarbon aluminum panels, you can tell the quality of the fluorocarbon just from the price.

    2. Is there a distinction between genuine and fake fluorocarbon? A simple example: if you offer a very low price to the manufacturer, they can only dilute the product or add other substances to meet your requirements. For instance, if an aluminum panel is coated with 100g of fluorocarbon, but due to the low price, they can only apply 80g of fluorocarbon, some may even add other liquids. Finished fluorocarbon aluminum panels can change color within 10 minutes of painting.

    3. Of course, if customers have lower quality requirements, that is also acceptable. For example, there is no need for high quality indoors. As long as it is not for experiments or in high-temperature environments, using it for forty to fifty years should not pose major issues.

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.
