DIBOND® Aluminum Composite Panels

DIBOND®, the world’s first aluminium composite sheet which is specially optimised for display. It is light and can be 3-dimensionally shaped, making it extremely stable and rigid. DIBOND® is ideally suitable for internal and external applications and can be used for an extraordinary variety of surfaces.

  • Unique AlMg1 alloy gives stability, particularly high corrosion-resistance and excellent capabilities for further processing.
  • The black polyethylene core gives stability and optimises long-term performance for outdoor use.
  • Special polyester paint systems compliant with ECCA standards provide absolute flatness, optimum printability and consistently high colour quality. They are free from heavy metals and conform to REACH, RoHS and WEEE.

PRODUCT VARIANTS

DIBOND®metalllics

High-gloss, metallic surfaces for unique highlights in retail. The new DIBOND®metallics color series offers shop fitters & designers fresh creative options. The shimmering effect featured in the exclusive, high-gloss, surfaces in four coordinating colours, radiant yellow, sparkling red, sophisticated anthracite and glamorous white-silver, is impressive.

DIBOND®FR

DIBOND®FR aluminium composite sheets have the fire classification “fire retardant” because of their mineral core. DIBOND®FR now available in new 2050 mm width.

DIBOND®design

Unlimited design freedom to express your individual style. Design your individual decor and we will realise your concept on the object of your choice.

BUTLERFINISH®

The characteristic brushed effect of BUTLERFINISH® is due to a special surface polishing process in which the cover sheet is first run through rollers and then stove-enamelled with clear lacquer.

DIBOND®digital

A specific paint system guarantees the best ink adhesion for UV-curable and solvent-based inks. The combination of this paint system and the extremely flat surface of DIBOND®digital not only enables the reproduction of very fine lines and structures but also allows faster printing.

DIBOND®decor

DIBOND®decor is our name for DIBOND® surfaces with a wood-look finish. These surfaces score in places where a combination of elegant wood-look and creative finishing are called for.

DIBOND®mirror

This mirrored surface for display areas has reflective qualities which are similar to those of a conventional mirror; it is unbreakable, however, and is only half as heavy.

DIBOND®structure

DIBOND®structure gets its characteristic look from a special paint system which gives the plate a haptic surface. With the option of a black or a silver surface, DIBOND®structure creates special accents.

DIBOND®eloxal

DIBOND®eloxal surfaces are coated in a special process with a 5 μm or 10 μm thick anodised coating which makes them significantly harder than surfaces finished using a paint system.

The Great Festival of the North A range of Perspex acrylic panels were used to create the dome at the Baltic Centre in Newcastle - see PDL: webite for full case study. Visitors to the 'largest event in England' this year will get a close up view of the Perspex® acrylic range within a material showcase at the The Great Exhibition of the North. The free, summer long festival is a celebration of the North of England’s pioneering spirit taking place in Newcastle. London-based design and materials consultancy MaterialDriven was asked by the Baltic Centre and Ryder Architecture to design and curate a materials display within the framework of a 7.3 meter diameter Pacific Dome, a type of geodesic dome that owes its design to Buckminster Fuller. Over 20 triangular panels of Perspex ® acrylic in a range of colours and textures have been used to create the structure alongside over 50 designers, material makers and manufacturers with ties to the North. Local approved fabricators Bay Plastics also supported the project by fabricating each of the Perspex® acrylic triangles at their Newcastle base. 07/06/2018Exhibition stand for the company @life.at.blickfeld at the Consumer Electronics Show 2020 in Las Vegas with focus on a back wall made from sequenced folded mirror elements. Project & Design in collaboration with @atelier.grande and @simon.vorhammer.

'In times of rapid and wide-ranging digitalization, there has been a major change in our perception of work and its value. The visual emphasis of this art project is directed towards forms of physical labour which our society tends to takes too much for granted, and which have become almost 'invisible' as a result. The primary objective is to 'raise AWARENESS' about these particular areas of work. To “take pride' in the importance of this work. The artist Florian Schwarz portrays municipal workers from very different working sectors – everyone was photographed during a work break,' according to the Singen’s Kulturbüro (Office for Culture). Direct digital printing was used to print the photos onto DIBOND®digital material. The aluminium composite panel, which was specially developed for direct digital printing on flatbed printers, offers an optimized coating system and guarantees the very best adhesion for UV-curing and solvent-based inks. The extremely flat surfaces allow the display of very fine lines as well as small fonts. DIBOND®digital is UV-resistant and temperature-resistant up to 80°C, making it the best choice for the Singen open-air gallery. Large format panels, measuring 1500x3050mm, were chosen for the exhibition in order to achieve the best possible visual language. Choosing a location for the exhibition in a public space means that, even in these challenging Covid-19 times, a wide number of visitors have access. Let the photos here fire your inspiration or see them in person at the Singen Stadtgarten Gallery between the Stadthalle and the old Stadtgarten (Hohgarten 4, 78224 Singen). www.singenselbstbewusst.de © ImagUnser Opaion aus DIBONDSpiegel Aussen hat den Frühling, den Sommer und den Herbst über Besucher und Wanderer erfreut. Sie finden Bilder im Anhang. Da die Lieferfristen von Schweizer Firmen zu lange waren, wurden die Dibond Platten von der Firma Fara Dis in 33378 Rheda-Wiedenbrück geliefert. Ende Oktober 2020 wird die Installation abgebaut. https://www.heidischoeni.com/10022093/opaion-20 www.hallek.org/steffenschoeniPrinted DIBOND 3D Art | SK52 Johannesburg South Africa Iszi Designs creates a range of sustainable, seasonal homewares laser cut from PERSPEX, cork and wood. My designs are inspired by current trends, colours and events with every collection having its own story to tell. Sustainability and quality are at the heart of my business which is why I exclusively use PERSPEX as my acrylic supplier. PERSPEX offers me a high-quality product with a varied range of finishes and colours helping to spark my creativity as well as holding up to my business values. I currently use 4 of PERSPEX’s ranges in my work – Frost, Sweet Pastels, Royals and Naturals. At the moment I am really enjoying working with the frosted range. Its unique finish, vibrant colours and it’s almost colour changing properties depending on how the light catches and passes through it are inspiring my new flora range. The ethereality of the Frost range helps to bring my flowers to life, despite being a flat layered piece of work, its ability to catch light enables me to add texture and movement to each piece With PERSPEX I can confidently say I am creating heirloom pieces. It’s exceptional durability, UV and moisture resistance and flexibility meaning that a piece can look just as good 5 years down the line as the day it was created. This ability to remain unchanged fits perfectly with my desire to encourage a slow living lifestyle. And if for any reason a customer doesn’t want their item anymore, they can return it to me for recycling. To reduce carbon miles, I make every effort to source supplies from within the UK. PERSPEX also upholds my ‘green’ ethos being a British company with a fantastic environmental policy in place.
