These single or double-sided stove-lacquered (platinum white) aluminium composite panels are the ideal medium for creative ideas in architecture, industry, transport and display. Ordinary tools can be used to create three-dimensional shapes by folding or bending for CI programmes, roof edges, mechanical engineering purposes or for vehicle superstructures or claddings, product presentations and displays.

Dibond is easily formed and yet extremely stable which makes it ideal for creating new and stunning stand concepts at trade fairs. Its excellent smooth surface enables precise screen printing and clean photo mounting and laminating. Owing to its low weight, combined with high rigidity and excellent weather resistance, Dibond is highly recommended for indoor and outdoor use.

Dibond Features & Benefit

Dibond Impact & Fire Resistance
Dibond does not break like glass, asbestos panels or other brittle products. It is resistant to blows and pressure and has a high buckling and breaking strength. Dibond has good fire resistant and can conform to a Class 'O' rating (BS 476) when the panels are framed.

Dibond Lightweight
Extremely light, Dibond - 2mm thick has a specific weight of 2.9kg/square metre compared with 4.6kg/square metre for aluminium sheet 1.7mm thick.

Dibond Rigid, Optically Flat Panels
Dibond panels consist of a core of low density polyethylene machine-bonded between two outer skins of aluminium. This balanced sandwich construction produces a very rigid yet optically-flat panel.

Dibond Weatherproof
Dibond has been used in applications where it is exposed to maritime and severe industrial atmospheres and used to strong sunlight. Consistent with the surface finish selected, it is highly resistant to the effects of such environmental conditions.

Dibond Good Temperature & Sound Resistance
Dibond absorbs vibration and has a low resonance response. The average airborne sound transmission loss of Dibond is approximately 21 decibels and as such is comparable with a 20mm thick plaster board or a heavy inside door. Temperature resistance ranges minus 50°C to plus 80°C (-55°F to +176°F).

Dibond Easily Cleaned
Water and a sponge or soft brush are all that is required to clean Dibond. In cases of more severe contamination, alkali-free cleansing detergents may be added to the water.

Dibond Fabrication
Dibond panels can be cut to size by sawing or shearing; more complicated shapes can be produced using a jig or band saw. Reverse side routing to produce a V groove enables Dibond to be folded into a whole range of shapes. A more detailed Dibond fabrication guide is available.
