INTERPLAST

Interplast was established in 1981 to manufacture PVC compounds and over the years has developed an extensive range of compounds for different applications such as sidings, pipe fittings, cable insulation, sheathing, containers, rigid and flexible profiles as well as clear tubing. In 1983, Interplast diversified into finished products with the introduction of DECODUCT Electrical Cable Management Systems.

Starting with UPVC Conduits, Trunking and Fittings, Interplast has since added many new products to its electrical range. Major additions were Underground Cable Protection Systems and a range of wiring devices marketed under the tradenames of INTERGARD and EDISON respectively and a full range of metal trunking and cable trays complete with accessories in co-operation with its sister company TSSC.

Having realized that further diversification was needed to fulfill the company’s growth strategy, it expanded into flexible packaging and thermoformed products for the food industry. These products are marketed under the trade names of DECOPACK and DECOFORM.

Within its DECOPACK range, the company developed unique products such as plastic and paper luxury shopping bags as well as multi layer film for various applications. To serve its growing European customer base, Interplast established Interplast UK in the United Kingdom, followed by the opening of Interplast’s office in Paris, France.

Another significant development in recent years has been in the area of Home Improvement products.

Interplast manufactures a range of PVC storage sheds, window profiles, door panels, PVC siding as well as fencing systems which are sold throughout the world.

The Building Materials Division of Interplast is offering a new product range ALUPEX

® Aluminium Composite Panel, Catering to

the architectural and construction industry.

Introduction

ALUPEX®- Aluminium Composite Panel Product Range

The Building Materials Division is providing innovative products for the

continuously expanding construction industry in the middle east. This

division’s primary goal is to develop & manufacture quality products required

for the modern building architecture.

The latest addition to our building material’s product range is ALUPEX®

Aluminium Composite Panels developed in technical collaboration with US

Polymers INC, U.S.A. ALUPEX® , is the next generation solution for all types

of cladding and building surfaces. It is a unique and versatile cladding material

used in enhancing new trends of modern architecture.

ALUPEX® is manufactured with state-of-the-art technology of multi-layer extrusion lamination where two skins of non-corrosive special grade

ALUMINIUM metal sheets are bonded on to the non-toxic Polyethylene thermoplastic or a fire retardant mineral core to form a sandwich panel.

The external skin surface is available in various finishes and colours made from fluoropolymer (PVDF) paint coatings.

Our in-house coating facility, equipped with advanced three-roller reversal precision coating machinery, is supported by a leading Europeon

paint manufacturer. The external surface is further protected by an easy-to-peel protective film. The internal skin surface is supplied with a

non-corrosive service coating to further enhance its protection from cement or galvanic corrosion after installation.

A fully integrated manufacturing facility with state-of-the-art coil coating facility and In-house testing laboratory is providing quality products

designed to meet the harsh weather conditions of the Gulf region.

This product range of composite panels is lighter and superior in strength-to-weight ratio, suitable for

day-to-day use for external and internal wall claddings in modern architectural buildings to create

attractive & durable finishes with low maintenance.

This range is manufactured using a thermoplastic polyethylene core conforming to CLASS 1 (BS 476)

fire rating of British Standard and high performance Aluminium Alloys to ensure faster and easy

fabrication methods.

The external Aluminium surface of panels is coated with superior PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Difluoride)

paints to maintain consistent decorative finish of the building surface over extended period of time

even in harsh Gulf weather conditions.

Fire Retardant Aluminium Composite Panels manufactured using a non-combustible fire retardant mineral core conforming to CLASS 0 (BS476) fire rating of British Standard certified by European testing laboratories.

This product range is manufactured using a high grade of Aluminium Alloys (E.g. AL1100 or AL3003 or AL 3105) to ensure lower oxidation and superior non-corrosive cladding system for high-end architectural requirements in commercial and public buildings.

The external Aluminium surface is coated with 2 and/or 3 coats system in PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Difluoride) paints using special purpose base primer coatings to ensure superior performance under severe and harsh weather conditions for extended periods.

A unique and revolutionary STONE finish Aluminium Composite Panels manufactured using latest coil coating technology . The top skin of

Aluminium is coated repeatedly with different colour patterns in PVDF, Polyester and Polyurethane to achieve a naturally look-alike marble,

granite and other stone patterns. The high gloss and consistent colour strengths are maintained by high temperature drying (up to 255˚C). An

additional topcoat of clear PVDF is used to maintain extended weathering performance for external cladding applications.

These look-alike stone skins are then subjected to conventional high-pressure extrusion lamination process to manufacture ALUPEX® TONE

composite panels. There are various granite and marble finishes available identical to natural stones with higher strength-to weight ratio.

These panels are the best alternative to conventionally heavy granite & marble tiles.

Fabrication Guidelines

ALUPEX® can be formed in any shape, angle or curve with ordinary metal and wood working machinery to fulfil requirements of any cladding

and design manifestos. Folding, curving, bending, cutting, joining, fastening, drilling etc. can be adopted with simple, easy and economical

skills to shape any architectural design form with flexibility.

GROOVING - Routing a groove using a

disk or end-milling cutter is much more

easier than making a groove in a wooden

substrate. Kindly ensure that 0.28mm of

plastic core material remains at the base

of groove for flat and consistent bending

at the groove during fabrication.

JIGGING - Alupex panels can be cut to

any shape and size by a contour cutting

process with water jets, profile milling

machines, contour saws and jigsaws.

SAWING - Alupex panels can be cut with

a circular, band or jigsaw similar to any

other wood cutting process.

BENDING - This can be done by using a

folding table or break press where the

inside bending radius is approximately

10 to 11 times of the panel thickness.

For the mass production it is advisable to

make a prototype. Please be aware that

the spring-back effect in case of these

panels is higher than that with other solid

metal sheets.

GLUEING - Adhesive tape, liquid

adhesive, double sided adhesive tapes

etc. can be used on back surfaces.

Please note that these adhesives cannot

be used for the inner plastic cores and

also usage on the top painted surface is

not advisable.

PUNCHING - These can be punched with

any conventional sheet punching

machines with evenly grounded tools

and narrowest cutting gap. Please note

that an inappropriate punching can cause

an indentation on the top surface.
