Reynobond® Architecture is the AlcoaArchitectural Products business area thatconcentrates on the architectural sector and provides specially custom-madeproducts and services.
Reynobond® is a composite panel con-sisting of two coil-coated aluminium sheets that are fusion bonded to both sides of a polyethylene core. Reynobond® offers utmost corrosion resistance and numerous advantages.
For architectural purposes, Reynobond® is particularly suitable for interior furnishing and designing façades, both in the area of new buildings as well as refurbishment. The advantages are particularly apparent for large-area applications, which place exceptionally high demands on evenness and stiffness. The Reynobond® FR (Fire Retardancy) version guarantees higher resistance to fi re.

Aluminium composite panels from Reynobond® Architecture offer many advantages:
• Almost unlimited diversity of surfaces: Extensive selection of colours and gloss levels, non-standard design surfaces and special coatings.• A broad palette of dimensions: Reynobond® can be delivered in fi ve standardwidths up to 2,000 mm. Other dimensions can be supplied, on request. • Comprehensive service: Short delivery times, even for small quantities and advice, before and during your project.• Convincing product benefi ts: Lightweight, high bending stiffness and fl atness, little expansion, highly resistant to weathering and warping, can be used in a variety of ways and is easy to install.
Other benefi ts can be achieved by combining Reynobond® with our coil-coated aluminium Reynolux®, such as absolute equality of shade in both products, since they come from the same coil-coating line. This allows you to achieve a standard exterior using two materials, which, in turn, provides cost benefi ts in terms of purchasing and maintenance.
As versatile as your imagination.
Expand your creative range!

If, up to this point, your creativity has been stifl ed by the range of colours and colour systems available, you fi nally have a real alternative. You can now coil-coat Reynobond® Architecture with PVDF 70/30 or DURAGLOSS® 5000.
PVDF 70/30 (polyvinyl-fl uoride)is currently setting the standardfor high-tech coatings in the construction sector, especially due to its excellent durability. PVDF-based colours have been tried and tested for many years in the sector.
However, because this standard cannot meet all your creative requirements, we have also developedour own coating and colour system exclusively for Reynobond® composite panels: DURAGLOSS® 5000.
All standard colours in the RAL- and NCS-colour chart can be supplied for Reynobond® Architecture.

Reynobond® Wood Design – Your design advantage
1514
Better than the original.
Reynobond® Wood Design the fi rst aluminium composite panel in the world with a wood surface, which is almost indistinguishable from real wood.
Thanks to DURAGLOSS® 5000, you cannot tell that it is a coil-coated aluminium composite panel. Not to mention all the benefi ts Reynobond® gives you.
Reynobond® Wood Design’s fl exibility and formability mean that you can use it to create curves and 3-D elements, which are diffi cult to do with real wood or other imitations. Other advantages are its light weight and the fact that it is easy to use with all fastening systems.
The surface is scratch-resistant and will help you make a good impression for decades to come, something we support by providing a 20-year warranty.
Reynobond® Wood Design is available in three attractive colours: Honey Pear, Colonial Red and Mahogany Brown.
In nature, there are many examples of dazzling colours that change in an instant. This is due to the light being broken up in different ways by the various surface layers. Nature’s fasci-nating colourful effects are the result of the interplay between light, refl ection, material and absorption.
Reynobond® Chameleon Colours copy this process. Depending on where a person is standing, the effects of the colours change, producing a variety of nuances and shades with iridescent effects. Here, the pigment effects simulate the various layers of the skin, with their different glosses, effects and depth of colour.
Reynobond® Chameleon Colours comes in the following shades: Indian Summer, Steel Violet, Arctic Blue, Autumn Wind, Spring Lake and Silver Gold.

Reynobond® XXL – Your size advantage
Airbus | Toulouse | FranceChaix & Morel | Laude 1918
Reynobond® XXL gives you the world’s fi rst aluminium composite panels that are 1750 mm or 2000 mm wide. This opens up countless new design possibilities for architects and metal workers.
Most convincing are the aesthetic aspects: With a 1750 mm or 2000 mm wide panel, you simply have fewer visible joints. Secondly, the installation times as well as the fabrication and assembly costs per square meter are reduced. Thirdly, Reynobond® XXL can be ideally combined with other 1750 mm or 2000 mm wide façade materials such as glass, for instance.
The length of the plate depends on the customer’s requirements and the methods of transport available. Reynobond® XXL can be supplied in all the colours of the Reynobond Architecture colour chart and other shades can be mixed, on request.

Fastening System
Whether horizontal or vertical, whether with visible or hidden fasteners, whether riveted or in plate design: Reynobond® Architecture offers you an extraordinary breadth of design possibilities.
Contact with other materials
Only plastics, stainless steel, aluminium, and zinc can be directly connected to Reynobond® without special safety requirements (under the condition that stainless steel or aluminium screws are used). For all other materials, the contact surface must be protected through a non-porous coating like cadmium, zinc, aluminium, chrome, or organic paint.
Direct contact between the aluminium Reynobond® sheets and heavy metals (i.e. copper, brass, bronze, iron) can lead to a large risk of corrosion. Before such materials can be used together, they must be coated or separated from the Reynobond® sheets using electrically insulating pieces (i.e. plastic base or washers, etc).
Fastening indications riveted system
When used outdoors, there must be at least 2 mm of working play between the rivet diameter and the hole diameter in the Reynobond® composite panel, in order to compensate for the linear coefficient of thermal expansion.
When fastening, there must be one fixed point – ideally in the centre of the panel. The other fastening points are also expansion points with sufficient hole play. The fixed central point permits free expansion in both directions.
It is essential that a step drill be used to ensure perfectly coaxial drilling of the panel and the support, and that the bore in the Reynobond® panel is larger than the hole in the support. In all cases we recommend that you follow the supplier’s instructions, and carry out some advance testing.
The rivet’s swage head or the screw head must be large enough to cover the bore hole in the panel. There must be play between the panel and the screw head or the rivet’s swage head. Painted rivets are particularly suited for assemblies with visible rivets.
Cleaning the panels
Frequent and regular cleaning is strongly recom- mended. The frequency of cleaning and selection of the appropriate cleaning agent, depends on the sign’s location and on the degree of contamination.
Washing operations must be carried out progressively from bottom to top. Hereby, the following rules must be observed:
1. Manual cleaning or using special equipment (industrial cleaner, foaming machine, etc.). Make sure to apply moderate pressure.
2. Use of appropriate cleaning agents: Do not use high-alkaline and other products that attack the coating (potash, caustic soda, acid products, scouring agents with an abrasive effect, solvents).
3. Systematic and thorough rinsing of the surfaces with clear water to remove the remains of the cleaning agent. Excess rinsing water is to be wiped away with a sponge, squeegee or chamois leather to remove the mineral residues left by the rinsing water (streaking).
Storage
We recommend storing Reynobond® composite panels in the workshop (or another dry place at a temperature of 18 to 20°C) at least 24 hours before fabrication starts. During storage, and between fabrication stages, the panels should be separated by means of polystyrene or foamed plastic wedges.
Protective equipment
Individual personal protection must be provided in accordance with the safety regulations in force in the workshop. However, we also recommend wearing safety gloves, goggles and ear protection.
Handling the panels
Handling of Reynobond® composite panels requires a certain degree of care. In particular with long panel lengths, several persons may be needed to support the sheet at several points.
Protective film
The film protects the panel’s surface during fabrication and installation. The protective film should only remain on the panels temporarily and should be removed as soon as possible after final installation on site. Arrows are printed on the film to indicate the direction of coating. With metallic finishes, this must be taken into account during forming and shaping.
General recommendations
Cassette system assembly advice:
For the working play for cassettes systems, please refer to the recommendations of certifications.

Shaping procedures
Reynobond® can be shaped and machined using extremely simple techniques and equipment.
Finishing
ShearingGuillotine shears are particularly suitable for sizing Reynobond® sheets, provided that certain precautions are observed.
Cutting-punchingThis technology is most effective since corners can be taken off and fastening grommets inserted in one single production step. We have developed a stamp for use with out KS, KU, and KH systems. This tool is also appropriate for drilling and for grooving (also possible with a CNC machine).
SawingCircular saws, jig saws, vertical panel saws, and band saws can all be used for cutting the sheets, provided the saw blades are suitable for sawing aluminium.
DrillingTwist drill bits designed for drilling aluminium are the most suitable.– Cutting angle: between 100° and 140°– Helix angle: between 30° and 50°
MillingPlease remember that the upper “looks” side of the panel must always be kept intact, and there must be a minimum thickness of polyethylene at the bottom of the milled groove (the polyethylene thickness is 0,3 mm with V-shaped grooves, and 1 mm with concave grooves).
Folding on a bending benchThe bench consists of a strip fi tted to a base. The panel is clamped vertically in the strip, and tips over under its own weight, requiring little effort on the part of the operator.This technique is particularly suited for folding turn-backs, especially for long lengths and narrow folds.
Roll bendingPyramid-type roll bending machines are most suitable for shaping our products. To avoid all risk of cracking, the minimum inner bending radius must be taken into account.
For Reynobond®, the minimum inner radius on a bending machine is approx. 15 to 20 times the overall thickness of the composite panel.
We recommend carrying out tests before production.
Folding with a sheet formerThe former is U or H-shaped, and is fi tted with a handle to facilitate the operation. This device is particularly suitable for folding small sizes.
General recommendations for bending and foldingIn general, it is essential to fold the entire turnback in a single movement, and to close the fold 10 to 20° more than the desired angle (to counteract a slight spring back effect) before shaping the exact fi nal angle. Depending on the required fold, the following techniques may be used:
