DeistBond - Q & A - About Products |
 |
What type of material is DeistBond ?
|
|
Deistbond is composed of a thermoplastic core sandwiched between two skins of aluminum.
This material is generally called Aluminum Composite Material and abbreviated as
ACM or Aluminum Composite Panel and abbreviated as ACP . |
|
|
|
What are features of DeistBond ?
|
DeistBond has many features, such as:
Flatness: Superior flatness with high rigidity compared with solid aluminum panels.
Coating Quality: Uniform color and smooth coating from a continuous coil coating
and a unique coating method called "Die coating."
Lightweight: Lighter than solid metals of equivalent rigidity.
Fire Performance: DeistBond is a fire-rated material that meets fire-safety codes
of building materials in most countries. Workability: Easy to process by ordinary
machines and tools for fabrication. |
|
|
|
Which are the available panel size and panel
thickness?
|
The available dimensions depend on the products, but DeistBond
is available with the following dimensions:
Total thickness: 3mm, 4mm, or 6mm
Standard panel width: 965mm, 1,270mm and 1,575mm
Maximum panel length: 7,200mm

|
|
How is the rigidity of DeistBond ?
|
|
DeistBond is highly rigid, especially compared with solid aluminum
sheets. 4mm DeistBond is equivalent to 3.3mm thick solid aluminum
sheet. As for details, refer to "Technical Information" page.

|
What kind of paint
is "Lumiflon?"
|
| Lumiflon paint system is the fluorocarbon based paint system; not
only is equivalent to PVDF or Kynar based paint standards, but has superior characteristics
in some aspects. The color range of this paint is wide, and the gloss is also adjustable
in a range between 20% and 80%. We use Lumiflon-based fluorocarbon paint system
as our standard. |

|
|
Are custom finishes available ? Are matte finishes available ?? |
|
yes, it is available. |
|
|
|
Are custom marble and timber designs available
? Are perforation panels
available ?? |
|
yes, it is available. Perforation processing is available such as circular,
square and slot holes. |
|
|
|
What is the maximum permissible temperature of
DeistBond?
|
The deflection temperature of DeistBond is 109-116°C (228-241°F).
Therefore, non-burdened DeistBond resists boiling water for short
time. However, in a practical heating work, we recommend the following guideline:
If the heating duration is shorter than 30 min, keep 90°C (194°F) at maximum.
If the heating duration is longer than 30 min, keep 70°C (158°F) at maximum.

|
|
|
Can DeistBond be recycled? |
|
DeistBond is a recyclable material. Both aluminum and the core
material can be reutilized. |

DeistBond - Q & A - About Applications |
|
|
What field is DeistBond used for ?
|
|
DeistBond is suitable for architectural applications such as external
and interior claddings, roof covering, and ceilings of buildings. On the other hand,
DeistBond is ideal for signage such as canopies for petrol service
stations and corporate sign boards.
|
|
|
|
Is DeistBond suitable for counter top and floor?
|
|
DeistBond is not suitable for such applications in terms of the
hardness of its surface. The surface of DeistBond is coated with
fluorocarbon or polyester coating which is not hard enough for counter tops.
|
|
|
|
What will happen with DeistBond in the event of
fire ? |
|
DeistBond has passed fire code requirements of building materials
around the world. Core material of DeistBond contains non-combustible mineral to
increase the fire safety. The mineral component prevents from the proliferation
of flame and restricts the development of the smoke detrimental to evacuation from
the fire.
|
|
|
|
Can DeistBond be a 1-hr fire resistant wall ?
|
|
DeistBond is a fire-rated material, but it cannot be a 1-hr fire
resistant wall. If your project is located in a city area in which 1-hr or 2-hr
fire resistant wall is mandatory, your building must have a certified fire resistant
wall behind DeistBond panels. Concrete wall and combination of
fire-grade gypsum board and steel stud can be the fire resistant wall.
|
|
|
|
What will happen with DeistBond if lightning hits
the building?
|
|
Generally speaking, external cladding panels conduct electricity, which is finally
grounded to earth through the sub-structure. Therefore, basically the lightning
electricity will flow toward the ground and nothing will happen to the panel
or the building. But the impact by lightning is so strong that the panel that the
lightning hit and its adjoining panels will be completely damaged.
|
|
|
|
What will happen with DeistBond in the
event of earthquake?
|
|
According to our deforming test due to shearing force like and earthquake, the shearing
force is absorbed in the panel deflection and DeistBond panel is
completely restored to the original position after the shearing force is eliminated.
Any problems are not observed in other assemblies of the tray type panel in this
test.
