Aluminum Composite Panel Data Sheet
Use this DERACP technical reference to compare panel construction, thickness, aluminum skin, core, coating, dimensions, finishes and documentation requirements before you approve an ACP / ACM specification or send an RFQ.
ACP Technical Data Sheet: Configurable Product Reference
For procurement, design and submittal work, separate public product ranges from values that must be confirmed on the exact order. This reduces the risk of using a generic catalog number as a project specification.
| Data field | DERACP reference / available direction | How to use it | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product family | Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) / Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) | Specify the exact series by application, core and finish. | Public reference |
| Panel structure | Two aluminum face sheets bonded to a composite core; coating and protective film vary by product. | Confirm core type, surface system and reverse-side treatment for the approved construction. | Project-specific |
| Total panel thickness | 2.5 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm are common published formats; selected DERACP references indicate structures up to 6 mm. | Choose by stiffness, application, span, fabrication and project requirements. | Published range |
| Aluminum skin | Published DERACP product references span approximately 0.08–0.50 mm depending on category. | Do not specify skin thickness from price alone; exterior and facade work normally requires a higher structural allowance than interior or display use. | Confirm by use |
| Common size | 1220 × 2440 mm appears as a common standard format. | Confirm width, length, cutting tolerance and packing limits before shop drawings. | Public reference |
| Custom dimensions | Non-standard dimensions can be discussed according to project requirements. | Send nesting sizes, route/fold details and container constraints when requesting quotation. | Project-specific |
| Coating options | PE / PVDF / FEVE / NANO | Match coating to exposure, UV, pollution, color, gloss and maintenance expectations. | Published options |
| Core options | LDPE and fire-rated core directions are published by DERACP. | For regulated facade work, request the exact fire classification and supporting test report for the supplied construction. | Report required |
| Finish / color | Solid, metallic, marble, wood, brushed, glossy, mirror and custom directions. | Approve physical sample / color standard before mass production where appearance control matters. | Sample approval |
| Fabrication | Cutting, routing, bending / folding and drilling are typical ACP processes. | Confirm tooling, V-groove geometry, minimum bend rules and protective-film handling with the selected panel construction. | Process-specific |
| Primary applications | Facade / cladding, interior decoration, ceilings, partitions, signage, retail and display applications. | Use application to drive coating, skin, core, thickness and submittal requirements. | Public reference |

Do Not Treat Every PDF as the Same Document
Buyers frequently search “ACM panel specifications PDF” and receive catalogs, test reports, brochures and technical sheets mixed together. Each document answers a different procurement question.
| Document | Main purpose | What it should answer | When you need it |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACP Technical Data Sheet (TDS) | Define measurable product configuration and technical fields. | What exactly is the panel construction, size, coating, core and performance basis? | Material approval, RFQ alignment, comparison and submittal. |
| Product Catalog / Brochure | Present product families, surfaces, applications and available choices. | Which series or finish family could fit the project? | Early-stage sourcing and design selection. |
| Color Chart | Compare visual finishes and color codes. | Which tone, metallic, wood, stone, brushed or mirror finish should be sampled? | Design approval and physical sample request. |
| Fire / Compliance Test Report | Document test conditions and classification for a tested construction. | Which exact standard, sample build-up, result and report revision apply? | Facade, regulated building and consultant review. |
| Fabrication / Installation Guide | Control routing, folding, fastening, joints, handling and installation. | How should the approved panel be processed and installed? | Shop drawings, fabrication and site execution. |
| Project-Specific Submittal | Bundle the documents for the exact order / specification. | Does every document reference the same panel, core, coating, thickness and finish? | Final approval before production or installation. |
Start the ACP Specification from the Application
The same phrase “aluminum composite panel” can describe very different constructions. The intended use should determine what you ask DERACP to put on the technical data sheet.
Interior Wall, Ceiling & Fit-Out
Prioritize surface consistency, clean fabrication, suitable panel thickness, PE or other agreed coating, protective film and size optimization. Fire requirements still depend on the project and local code.
Advertising & Sign Fabrication
Confirm print / bonding compatibility, flatness, cut quality, routing, panel thickness, skin thickness, finish and transport protection. Ask for a sample when brand color is important.
Exterior Cladding & Facade
Focus on exterior-grade coating, aluminum skin, panel stiffness, movement allowance, color stability, fastening strategy, local exposure and the full facade system—not the sheet alone.
Fire-Rated Building Applications
Do not approve from the words “FR” or “A2” alone. Request the exact tested core / panel construction, classification standard, report number, laboratory, scope and current revision.
Five Steps from ACP TDS Search to Purchase Specification
Define use
State facade, signage, ceiling, interior wall, column, retail display or another end use.
Set build-up
Choose a starting panel thickness, aluminum skin, core and coating based on the use environment.
List approvals
Tell DERACP which fire, material, environmental or consultant documents are mandatory.
Approve finish
Confirm color code, gloss / texture and physical sample before a color-critical production run.
Lock the TDS
Align quotation, sample, purchase order and controlled technical data sheet to the same specification.

Aluminum Composite Panel Data Sheet Questions
What information is included in an aluminum composite panel data sheet?
A practical aluminum composite panel data sheet identifies the exact panel structure, total thickness, aluminum skin, core, coating, panel dimensions and tolerances, surface finish, fabrication-relevant information and any performance / test fields needed for the intended application. Fire or compliance claims should reference a separate current test report when required.
Can DERACP provide an ACP technical data sheet for a specific project?
DERACP can confirm project-specific technical information after you define the application, thickness, aluminum skin, core, coating, finish, dimensions, quantity and required standards or reports. For regulated projects, ask for documents that match the exact construction being quoted.
Is an ACM panel specifications PDF the same as a product catalog?
No. A catalog is useful for product families, applications and colors, but a TDS should focus on measurable technical fields. A complete submittal may also need fire reports, certificates, color approvals and fabrication / installation guidance.
What panel size is commonly available from DERACP?
DERACP product information commonly references 1220 × 2440 mm. Non-standard sizes can be discussed according to product construction and project requirements. Confirm dimensional tolerance, packing and fabrication limits on the project TDS.
What coating should I specify for exterior ACP?
Exterior projects usually require a coating selected for weather, UV and pollution exposure, such as PVDF or another suitable exterior-grade surface system. Final selection should consider the project climate, color, expected maintenance and complete panel construction.
What should I send when requesting an ACP TDS or quotation?
Send project location and application, panel thickness, aluminum skin, width / length, core type, coating, finish / color, quantity, fabrication method, destination and the exact standards, fire classifications or certificates required by the consultant, code authority or buyer.
Send Your ACP Requirements and Ask DERACP to Match the TDS to the Quote
Include panel thickness, aluminum skin, core, coating, color, size, quantity, application and required test documents. This gives your purchasing, technical and approval teams one specification to work from.
