Aluminium composites panels are not often used for balustrade, balcony or barriers. Often because of the low impact resistance. But ALPOLIC panels which has higher rigidity and surface resistance, passed the impact tests : - with visible fixings - with invisible fixings & perforation I see often some balustrade brochures based on ETB-Richtlinie tests and used in every european countrie. But be careful, in some countries, balustrade regulation requires higher impact force than ETB-Richtlinie (538,7 Joules). That’s why we tested with 600 Joules impact force in order to be able to use the test certificate in France, for example. ALPOLIC panels have both sides lacquered as standard: - Rearside: RAL 7035 Light Grey (Polyester)*. This lacquer has higher scratch resistance - Frontside: Color of choice on frontside (HDP, FEVE, real anodized) ALPOLIC panels can have both sides lacquered with colors of choice: - Rearside: Color of choice (HDP, FEVE, real anodized) - Frontside: Color of choice (HDP, FEVE, real anodized) The new solution with perforated panel includes: - warranty on punched or CNC perforation with ALPOLIC FR - warranty on CNC perforation with ALPOLIC A2 - FEM calculation to validated the windload resistance ALPOLIC technical department can provide this service.

New Balcony certification for ALPOLIC even with perforation and at 600J impact test

Woven wire mesh, a versatile material used in many industries, offers a world of possibilities in design and functionality. At its core, it consists of intersecting horizontal and vertical wires, forming a grid pattern. The flexibility of woven wire mesh lies in the varying thickness of these wires and the range of mesh opening sizes. For those seeking a deeper understanding of this remarkable material, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions in our latest blog post.

🚀Draft angle 🚀 Draft angle is an important design element that helps eject the part from the mold easily. 💡 1. Draft angle is the taper added to the vertical wall to make it easier for the part to be released from the mold. 2. Maintain a consistent draft angle on all vertical surfaces to ensure even release. 3. Determine the appropriate draft angle size based on material properties, part geometry, and mold design. The draft angle is 1-2° on smooth guyed walls and 3-5° on textured surfaces. 4. Prioritize draft angles for critical features such as vertical walls, ribs, and bosses to prevent damage and ensure smooth ejection. 5. Undercuts should be minimized or eliminated when designing parts, as they require complex operations before ejection, which complicates mold design. 6. Align the draft angle with the parting line of the mold to ensure uniform ejection force. 7. Apply draft at the joints between ribs, gussets and adjacent walls to facilitate demoulding and reduce the risk of deformation. 8. On decorative surfaces, consider using smaller draft angles or blending them into the design to minimize their visual impact. #Draft #draftangle #manufacturing #gate #Injection #molding #plasticinjectionmoulding #toolingdesign #engineering #plastic #mold #mould #plastic #tooling

Often times, design can dictate the application. Whether your Dry Van features a Sheet & Post design or a Composite Plate design, each has it’s unique advantages. From hauling more cubes to securement options, each design can benefit you in different ways! What’s your preference? https://lnkd.in/gFs3iGYv

When designing rotomolded parts with parallel walls, the minimum distance between two walls is typically three times the nominal wall thickness. For some designs, however, a distance that’s five times the nominal wall thickness is recommended instead. https://bit.ly/49914IC #rotomolding #rotationalmolding #partdesign
