Its performance depends on the quality of the aluminium sheets, polymer core, adhesive and protective surface coating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">To provide consistent product performance, manufacturers need to control important parameters such as dimensions, core density, tensile properties, peel strength, coating thickness, coating adhesion, pencil hardness, gloss, weather resistance and chemical resistance. For certain grades, fire-retardance characteristics are also applicable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In India, <strong>Aluminium Composite Panel<\/strong> is covered under <strong>IS 17682:2021 \u2013 Aluminium Composite Panel<\/strong>.
