Methodology For Installation Of Aluminum Composite Panel
Prepare the surface:
Surface has to be clean,smooth and dry.Take Double check to make sure the surface is structurally sound. Remove any moldings, Take measure for the undulation Surface. Identifying the potential complications in advance will help The installation smoothly. ALULOYAL is a rigid panel,but a physical impact maybe cause an edge deformation.Inclusion of hard particles such as grains of sand and cutting chips caught between ALULOYAL panels may cause visible dent-damages in one or more adjacent panels.
Checking of Level: Use level to make sure that the alignment of the wall is true to its requirement and adjust the level (if required).
Take note of the following precautions while handling ALULOYAL during fabrication and installation.
Unpacking and repacking
a. Do unpacking and repacking works in a clean place.
b. Remove dusts and chips from ALULOYAL and the packing paper.Any hard particles between
panel will cause a dent-damage on ALULOYAL panels.
c.Handle ALULOYAL on a worktable. Do not handle it on the floor.
d. ALULOYAL should always be handled by two people with external face upward to avoid possible rubbing of the ALULOYAL surface during handling.
Transport
a.For transport: lay the packed ALULOYAL horizontally and do not place heavy goods on it.
b.Mark "Handle with Care","Keep Dry","No Hooks"and "This Side Up"clearly on the packing.
Fabrication
a.Prior to fabrication,clean off the worktable,temporary stand and both sides of ALULOYAL.
b.Ensure that cutting chips generated from saws, routers and drills are completely removed from the interface between ALULOYAL and tools.
Storage
a.Store ALULOYAL panels indoors with a flat rack system or a vertical rack system shown below.
b.In a flat rack system,pile the same size of panels on a rigid palette.Do not pile up different sizes together. Our wooden crates can usually be stacked up to four crates high.
c.In a vertical rack system,lean panels closely against an inclined backing material within 10°.The total thickness of leaning panels should not exceed 100mm thick. Use veneer for backing cover and place rubber mat on the bottom. Avoid scratches when pulling out from the rack and restoring it.
Protective film
The protective film of ALULOYAL ,consisting of two polyethylene layers of white and black, withstands outdoor exposure for approx. 6 months. However, store and panels in dry and indoor atmosphere,to minimize the natural-degradation of the protective film by moisture and direct sunlight during storage.
PVC tape
Do not use adhesive tapes made of PVC(polyvinyl chloride)on the surface of protective film at any time during storage,fabrication or installation.The plasticizer (an additive) in PVC tape will permeate the film and attack the Lumiflon coating,which causes a gloss change problem on the coating. Any tapes may cause this problem,including duct tape,packing tape and insulation tape.
