ALUCOLUX®is a coil coated solid aluminum panel used in architectural applications worldwide.
ALUCOLUX® features multi-coat, multi-bake process on a continuous coil coating line using the highest grade of PVDF/FEVE paint system. This process not only ensures colour consistency and long-term durability but also renders it non-combustible.
Unique patterns resembling the look & feel of a real wood and stone are also possible with ALUCOLUX®.
ALUCOLUX® offers versatility and can be used for façade cladding (exterior wall cladding) and curtain walls, interior wall cladding, decorative ceilings, column cladding (column decoration), and soffits.

ALUCOLUX® Product Range:
The diagram indicates the available range of panel sizes and permissible range lengths at a given panel width, depending on the wind load applied.
The diagram apply to panels supported on four sides (corners fixed). Dimensional values for other systems are available on request.
The LEED program has gained much recognition over the past several years and is now the premier sustainability design tool in the building industry. LEED focuses on constructing buildings that have minimal impact on the environment during construction and occupation and acknowledges using recycled materials is an essential part of reducing environmental deterioration.

The solid aluminium panels used for cladding traditionally are manufactured using the post-painting system, where mill-finished aluminium are first fabricated and then put through a batch-coating process with spray or powder coating method. The batch-coating is done under a less controlled environment compared to the highly industrial coil-coating process.
Batch-coating leads to an inconsistent thickness of the paint layer across the surface resulting in colour inconsistencies on the panels.
Batch-coated or powder-coated panels fail to qualify as non-combustible due to the extra thickness of the paint coat on the surface. They are usually classified as A2 and not A1 as per EN 15501-1 test standard.
Batch-coated panels also face limitations in terms of panel sizes, the variety of colours and surface finishes thereby limiting designers’ choices
Moreover, there are 2 to 3 different vendors involved in getting the final product ready, resulting in a split accountability towards quality.
High quality PVDF/FEVE coating on a continuous industrial grade coil-coating line conforming to AAMA 2605 and ECCA guidelines.
The alloy and temper used in the manufacturing of ALUCOLUX® is specifically chosen to ensure that the finished product has perfect flatness.
A non-combustible panel which has passed a larger system test BS 8414-1 and is classified as A1-s0,d0 as per EN 15501-1 test standard.
ALUCOLUX® is a solid and rigid aluminum panel, yet highly formable.
ALUCOLUX® comes in a vast range of colors and surface finishes, giving you a large variety to choose from.
You get support from 3A Composites team in recommendation and designing of appropriate fixing systems or any other necessary assistance.
ALUCOLUX® is 100% recyclable material.
ALUCOLUX® comes with a 15-year warranty.
