Benefits

  • Direct printing with UV ink: The ink adhesion is stable and perfect.
  • Super lightweight: GRAPHIC-ALTM DP 3MM thick is only 0.51PSF.
  • High rigidity: GRAPHIC-ALTM DP is equivalent to 1.8mm thick aluminum sheets and 5.0mm thick acrylic sheets in rigidity, and its weight is only 60% and 50% respectively
  • Excellent flatness and smoothness: GRAPHIC-ALTM DP has excellent flatness derived from continuous laminating process and excellent smoothness from the coil coating process.

Material Composition

GRAPHIC-ALTM DP is composed of two skins of 0.005" thick aluminum and a foamed polyethylene core. The top side is a paint coating with high polymer polyester, and covered with a transparent protective film.

Characteristics

Properties
The panel weight is almost equivalent to 1.0mm thick aluminum sheets and 2mm thick acrylic sheets. The thermal expansion is almost equivalent to aluminum sheets and nearly one-third acrylic sheets.

Thickness Panel Weight Thermal Expansion
Unit MM PSF x10-6/°F
GRAPHIC-ALTM HP 3MM 0.51 13-18
Aluminum Sheet 1.0MM 0.55 13
Acrylic Sheet 2MM 0.40 28-50

Note: Thermal expansion rate 13-18 x10-6/°F means that the elongation/contration is 0.06-0.09" per 100°F.

Rigidity (Bending Strength)
GRAPHIC-ALTM DP 3mm is equivalent to 1.8mm thick aluminum sheets and 5.0mm acrylic sheets in rigidity.

Thickness of equivalent rigidity Panel Weight KG/M Weight Ratio
GRAPHIC-ALTM DP 3MM 0.51 1.0
Aluminum Sheet 1.8MM 0.98 1.9
Acrylic Sheet 5.0MM 1.23 2.4

Note (how to read the above table): GRAPHIC-ALTM DP 3MM is equivalent to 1.8mm thick aluminum sheets in rigidity. This aluminum sheet weighs 1.9 times GRAPHIC-ALTM DP.
