Are there non-combustible ACP options for high-risk zones?
For high-risk applications—such as hospitals, schools, and high-rise towers—non-combustible ACP panels are essential. PRANCE supplies panels with mineral or A2 cores composed of magnesium hydroxide and alumina trihydrate, achieving EN 13501-1 classification A2-s1,d0 (no spread of flame, limited smoke). These cores eliminate polyethylene content, preventing flame propagation.
Surface finishes are fire-retardant PVDF or intumescent paints that resist ignition and provide additional char expansion under heat. Panel edges and joints are detailed with fire-rated sealants and gaskets to maintain compartmentation. Full-scale fire tests—combining panels, substructure, and sealants—validate system performance under real conditions.
By specifying non-combustible ACP, architects achieve metal facades and ceilings that meet stringent fire codes without sacrificing design flexibility or visual appeal.
