ARCHITECKS® Fr is a fire resistance aluminum composite material with flame retardant core materials instead of polyethylene. In order to meet various fire code system, it was excellent smoke development index and surface burning characteristics without toxic gases.   Even though non-combustible mineral contents of Architecks® Fr core, it can be easily bend and fabricate so many fabricator can be satisfy for their jobs. ARCHITECKS® Fr is to meet the aesthetic requirements of the most demanding architectural fire code in most countries. 4mm thickness of ARCHITECKS® Fr panel with halogen-free and non-flammable core, weigh same as 3.3 mm thick aluminum sheet. The strong, 6mm thick panels, are easily integrated with the curtainwall system to achieve the building's wave-inspired design with long-lasting Kynar 500 coatings. ARCHITECKS® composite panel series is used all over the world and millions of square meters, over 29,000 projects, have been sold since 1987.
