What is the AluPOLY® Advantage?
At its core, AluPOLY is an ACM sheet, a composite material that consists of two thin layers of aluminum bonded to either side of a polyethylene core. This structure is pivotal to AluPOLY's celebrated attributes: durability, dimensional stability, strength, and its lightweight nature.
These characteristics render it an ideal choice for a plethora of applications, ranging from signage (both interior and exterior) and construction to architectural cladding. It's also seen as an effective substitute for steel and aluminum in many applications.
AluPOLY is not just about internal qualities; it also meets external standards, being a UL compliant signage material in accordance with UL879. This compliance underscores its suitability and safety for a wide array of uses.
