Description
ALPOLIC™ FR is an aluminium composite material (ACM) with a 3.0mm mineral core, sandwiched between two skins of 0.5mm thick aluminium metal facings, having a total nominal thickness of 4mm.
The topside surface is finished with Lumiflon™ based fluoropolymer coating as standard, and the backside is finished with a thin polyester coating (wash coating) or a service coating. Finishes are available in Solid, Metallic, Sparkling, Prismatic colours, and Patterns.
ALPOLIC™ FR is available in panels of
- Thickness: 4.0mm
- Width: 914mm - 1620mm
- Length: 1800mm - 7200mm
ALPOLIC™ FR is intended for use as part of an external cladding system, as an internal wall and ceiling lining including wet areas, and eaves lining.
Scope
1. ALPOLIC™ FR is certified for use as part of an external wall cladding system on buildings:
- within the scope of the NZBC acceptable solution E2/AS1 para 1.1, for wind zones up to and including “Extra High” (as defined by NZS 3604:2011), or calculated design wind pressure (ULS) of 2.50 kPa, provided:
- when used in conjunction with a drained and ventilated system with a building underlay that meets the performance characteristics of table 23, E2/AS1 and has an air resistance greater than 0.1 MNs/m3, and
- where located in wind zone Extra High or with design wind pressure is greater than 1.55 kPa a rigid air barrier is used, and
- buildings outside the scope of E2/AS1 provided compliance with E2 External moisture E2.3.2, and E2.3.7 is established by specific engineering design, and
- for multi‐level buildings with a building height >25m (when used as part of a C/AS2 compliant external wall cladding system),except risk group SI (as defined in C/AS2).
- Located:
- i. anywhere with respect to a relevant boundary, and
- ii. in all exposure zones (except for microclimates) as defined in NZS 3604:2011.
Metal flashings and stainless‐steel fixings complying with table 7 and table 20 of E2/AS1 must be used.
2. ALPOLIC™ FR is certified for use as an internal lining, including wet areas when used as part of a system which achieves E3 compliance.
3. Where ALPOLIC™ FR is fabricated and or folded to be part of a cladding or lining system:
- it shall be in accordance with the product specifications and properties and details in the referenced documents, and
- compliance of the complete wall cladding system or lining system is not within the scope of this certification.
NOTE: Together, items 3,4,5 and 6 define scope of use.
