ALUCORE® from ALUCOBOND® is a honeycomb composite panel. The system components of ALUCORE® are bonded in a continuous process in contrast to conventional honeycomb composite panels. ALUCORE® from ALUCOBOND® combines high mechanical properties, such as the tensile strength of the cover sheets, with outstanding processing and aesthetic features.
Due to its composite structure, ALUCORE® can take on many different shapes. It is almost like a different skin wrapping the building structure. Its perfect formability does not affect its stability and flatness. The high rigidity of the panel remains. Its particular characteristics make ALUCORE® the ideal choice not only for outdoor applications but also for interior design
In addition to its low weight and perfect flatness, ALUCORE® from ALUCOBOND® shows excellent weathering resistance. About surface finishing, high-quality lacquering systems with optimum resistance to weather and industrial pollution are used exclusively.
Material Properties
The standard core consists of aluminum foils from AlMn alloys (EN AW 3003). The cells are 9.5 mm in size. The cover sheets of the ALUCORE® panels consist of corrosion-resistant Peraluman alloys (AlMg1/5005A) and may be used decoratively or functionally, depending on the purpose of application.
Product Properties

| Lightness / Rigidity | The composite structure of ALUCORE® results in an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, even when comparing large panel sizes. Despite its low weight, ALUCORE® is easy to transport and handle in the factory and on-site. Its rigidity and high strength make the panels keep their shape and remain flat, even when exposed to extreme temperature changes |
| Sustainability | For 3A Composites, effective, continuing environmental protection is a main priority. ALUCOBOND® commits itself to continuous improvements in environmental protection, which by far exceed existing rules. Also in this field, 3A Composites endeavors to play a leading role |
| Recycling | ALUCORE® can be fully recycled with any other aluminum without prior separation or sorting (scrap value) |
