Multipanel UK - aluminum and steel composite panels from England

Multipanel UK Alupanels are aluminum composite panels with a classic structure: LDPE core with two aluminum skins. They can be used for a wide variety of applications and requirements.

Core of aluminum composite panels

The core of the Alupanel board is a 100% LDPE core, which provides the basis for the basic strength and rigidity. Basically, a stiff / stable core will later directly affect the flexural rigidity of the composite panel.

For applications that require a special fire protection classification according to B1 (EN 13501-1), these panels can also be equipped with a special, very environmentally friendly and lightweight B1 core.

Cover layers of the aluminum composite panels

After the core, the outer layers of an aluminum composite panel have a significant influence on the properties of the panel. The aluminum top layers are used in thicknesses of 0.50 / 0.30 / 0.26 / 0.20 / 0.15 mm. Cover layers made of steel (these are magnetic ) are a special feature.

What should you consider when choosing composite panels?

The durability is influenced by all external influences. Careful selection of the composite panel, according to the place of use and the type of use, is becoming more and more important and should not be neglected.

The place of use (inside or outside), the direction of use (UV radiation) and subsequent mechanical loads must always be taken into account when selecting the right panel. The selection based on the price is not always expedient.

When choosing the right type of panel, other special requirements should also be taken into account.

Should the plate be printed ? In principle, all composite panels can be printed well with modern printing systems. However, plates specially designated for digital printing also have other special properties, such as an easily removable protective liner , which helps to improve the workflow and causes less static charging. Specialties, such as surfaces specifically designed for printing with latex inks , are the latest features to consider as well.

If the panel has to be milled with V-grooves on the back for folding , only top layers of 0.26, 0.30 or 0.50 mm should be used to be on the safe side.

Magnetic steel composite panel

The "Multishield" magnetic steel composite panel offers a special property. Two 0.25 mm thick galvanized steel covers provide enough magnetic counterforce for any commercially available magnet. Of course, this plate can also be folded after the V-groove.

The use as a magnetic pin board is not the only special feature of Multishield. One side is digitally printable and one side is ready to use as a whiteboard! The assembly of entire walls is extremely easy using magnets - without any spacers.

Places of use are: whiteboard walls in conference rooms, magnetic pin boards, emergency signs, shopfitting, cladding, sanitary concepts, magnetic removable frames and much more

Aluminum composite panel with laser engraving

The surface of the Multipanel UK panels can also be laser engraved with excellent results. For example, a 40 watt CO2 laser is used.

Tip for the laser engraving of aluminum composite panels : the best results and thus a beautifully silvery engraved surface are achieved in the lower range of the laser power.

Other areas of application for aluminum composite

Aluminum composite in its diversity offers the opportunity to achieve great results for almost every application and to offer a unique finished product at any time.

The British company Multipanel UK specializes in the permanent development of innovative aluminum composite products and the development of new and interesting applications.

State-of-the-art production processes - always geared to compliance with applicable emission guidelines - are a matter of course and make Multipanel UK one of the leading aluminum composite panel manufacturers worldwide.
