Alfrex Plate is a 1/8” (3mm) pre-finished, 100% solid aluminum, non-combustible wall cladding plate product

It features a nominal standard thickness of 0.125” (3mm) by a maximum 62” width, and available in other popular thicknesses as well as custom widths.

 

It is pre-finished by coil coating lines specialized in handling heavier gauge solid aluminum coil, tension leveled, and cut to length per the requirements of each project.

 

Its 70% PVDF Kynar resin paint system ensures color consistency and outstanding UV protection, while it can be coated in coordination with Alfrex FR ACM standard or custom colors.

 

The backside is primer coated to minimize oxidization and enable post-paint spray coating for small lot custom colors, where either air dry or baked finishes are desired.
