Where in the world will you find

Reynobond® Aluminum Composite Material

(ACM) from Alcoa Cladding Systems?

You’ll discover it on the sun-drenched

beaches of Dubai. Or nestled in the blue hills

of Kentucky. Or towering above a crowded

street in Shanghai or Sao Paulo, Brazil.

You’ll even find it on such legendary land-

marks as the Eiffel Tower.

Architects, builders, designers, owners and

specifiers from around the world have

discovered that Reynobond composite panels

are the cladding material of choice.

Over the past decade, Reynobond ACM has

set the standard for quality and performance

in the cladding industry. Made of two strong

sheets of corrosion-resistant aluminum

permanently bonded to a thermoplastic core,

Reynobond is lightweight, yet exceptionally

strong. Its strength to weight ratio is nearly

double that of steel.

The panels fabricate easily to accommodate

the most challenging interior and exterior

design applications—from dramatic curves

and sharp angles to unique trapezoidal shapes.

So before you begin your next new design or

retro-fit project, we invite you to take a closer

look at Reynobond ACM—just one of the many

world-class architectural products from Alcoa

Cladding Systems.

We think you’ll find that nothing bonds better

with your imagination.

Reynobond.® The advantages of metal. The strength of Alcoa.

Alcoa’s philosophy of providing total solutions

is best illustrated by many of the innovative

products we offer: fire-resistant (FR) core

material, continuous coil paint systems,

architectural and specialty coatings and integrated

curtain wall systems.

We have enhanced our ACM manufacturing

facilities as well as our continuous coil paint

lines to serve our global market even more

efficiently.

Alcoa Cladding Systems provides a full range

of Design Assistance Services including

architectural detail manuals, samples,

fabrication instructions, certified test results

and engineering data.

And we are proud to have a global distributor and

fabricator network that shares our commitment

to quality.

Alcoa. A passion for quality.

Alcoa Cladding Systems is committed to

providing only the strongest, most innovative

architectural products.

Reynobond ACM is no exception. The quality

begins with our continuous manufacturing

process. This allows us to meticulously

control the tolerances, flatness and thickness

of each panel.

The bonding of the aluminum and core is

achieved by both chemical and mechanical

action, giving Reynobond extraordinary

bond integrity.

The result is that our panels are superior in

flatness and bond strength to many

competing materials, making them ideal for

creating smooth, monolithic surfaces that

virtually eliminate dimpling, buckling and

oil canning.

What makes Reynobond ACM the ideal

medium for discriminating architects,

designers and fabricators is its remarkable

formability. Available in a variety of

lengths, widths and thicknesses, Reynobond

can be easily formed into small radius

curves, reverse curves and angles.

Reynobond ACM can be roll-formed to

curved configurations for column covers,

architectural bullnoses, rounded edges,

building corners and other applications

requiring radius forming.

Other fabrication techniques include routing,

drilling, punching, shearing, brake-forming,

cutting, hot-air welding, bolting and riveting.

Shop forming opens up dramatic design

possibilities at relatively low cost using

common wood and metalworking tools.

Reynobond.

The shape of things to come.

From earth tones to metallics Reynobond

panels are available in so many vibrant

color and finish options. Continuous

coil application of a standard or custom

color assures color uniformity, consistency

and performance.

Our premium Colorweld® 300 finishes

feature 70% KYNAR 500®/HYLAR 5000®

polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resins for

outstanding color uniformity, UV fade

resistance and gloss retention.

The 2-coat DURAGLOSS® 5000 finishes

offer the best balance between high

performance and lower cost while still

providing excellent UV resistance and

overall performance.

DURAGLOSS® 3000 specialty finishes

come in bright, bold colors for canopies,

signage, columns, fascia, trim and accents

that are formulated for extended high

gloss retention.

A vast palette

of colors and finishes.

Reynobond Aluminum Composite Material

is as ideally suited for interior and specialty

applications as it is for exterior designs.

Available in a wide range of thicknesses and

sizes, Reynobond panels have been used

successfully throughout the world for such

applications as beam wraps, ceilings, interior

walls, partitions, elevators, fascia, clean

rooms, canopies, kiosks and signage.

You can depend on Reynobond for consistent

high quality, superior dimensional tolerance

control and bond strength. As you can see

from this gallery of innovative projects, the

creative possibilities of Reynobond have only

begun to be explored.

When we designed Reynobond panels, we

made sure they could take the heat. That’s

why they are also available with a fire-

resistant (FR) core that meets or exceeds

international building code requirements.

FR material has been proven no more toxic

than wood as evaluated by the University of

Pittsburgh Test Method in accordance with

New Code Provisions.

Safety. One of our core values.
